“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment” Mark 12:30, NKJV.

In sports, there’s a term coaches use when they want their players to give their best. That coach will ask them to be “all in”. The Father desires us to be all in when it comes to loving Him. We love Him above anything else and living for Him, not for anything else. The Message Bible terms it with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.

He is your Source, your Strength, Provider, Deliverer, Healer, your Peace, wisdom, and righteousness. I challenge you to be all in with your love for God, giving Him your all today. Seek not to focus on the problem, but rather on the One that has already made a way to solve them. On Him, that holds great plans for you in His hands. See the Lord as better than anything, because He is. Be all in.

Prayer: Father, I love you and I choose to love you with not some, but all of me. I’m all in. I will give you my time and my mind will stay on Jesus today. Let your will be done and I will love you with all my strength, doing kingdom work. I’m giving everything I’ve got today. Do far beyond what I can ask for or imagine in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
