LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
Deuteronomy 6:4-5. “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
Throughout the past year, I received many blessings and grace from God. While I prepared Christmas worship message, God’s sacrificial love deeply moved my heart. God sacrificed his one and only Son to save a sinner like me. This is love. I did not love him first but he loved me unconditionally and sacrificed his only Son Jesus. In response to this amazing love of God, I decided to have Deuteronomy 6:4-5 as my New Year’s key verse. I pray that Philadelphia UBF beginning with me may love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our strength in the New Year 2014. I pray that we may receive the abundant grace of the forgiveness of our sins as we come before the Lord God in sincere repentance because whoever has been forgiven more will love more. I pray that our worship may be full of grace and truth every week and I may be used as God’s instrument to deliver his message to his people. I pray that we may restore our enthusiasm for campus mission and rededicate ourselves to it. I pray that in the New Year everyone in Philadelphia UBF may grow as a Genesis Bible teacher. I pray that we may live as lovers of God rather than lovers of themselves, lovers of money, lovers of career success, and lovers of pleasure. God will richly bless us if we obey this command.
Personal prayer topics for the New Year:
● Be a good shepherd and Bible teacher to Drexel students and my children
● Grow as God’s messenger who correctly handles his word with spiritual authority
● Restore hard-working spirit; be a morning person; new research grants
● Remain humble and be a man of prayer
● Good health and tennis fellowship
One Word: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
