Deuteronomy 6:5-9
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou
 sittest in thine
 house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and might.’ 
That’s what Jesus told us to do too. I was somewhat amazed to find it in the Old Testment
 as well as in 
the New. I was even more so since I had asked God what I should do to get closer to Him. 
First page I opened there it is. God’s saying, ‘Love me with all you are.’ 
Simple, right? I don’t know why,but somehow for me it’s easier said than done. I tend to drift if I don’t connect with God daily. 
Solution, daily quiet times. And it looks like I need to scedual them until they become an automatic thing 
(I heard somewhere it takes 22 days for something to become a habit). I pray I won’t drift off again. I hate
 it when I do something that I know God wouldn’t like or if I just don’t talk to Him 
because I know it 
hurts Him when I say I love him and then don’t follow it hrough in my life. 

Deuteronomy 6:13-14
 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which [are] round about you;

Deuteronomy 6:17-18
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and 
his statutes,
 which he hath commanded thee.
And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be
 well with thee…

That certiantly reinforces what I thought earlier. I need to strive to do what I know is right and will please 
God. If you love someone you’d do anything to make them happy. I hope I never back down
 from that.
