Follow Jesus With All My Heart and Soul

 The king took his place of authority beside the pillar and renewed the covenant in the Lord’s presence. He pledged to obey the Lord by keeping all his commands, laws, and decrees with all his heart and soul. He promised to obey all the terms of the covenant that were written in the scroll.

2 Chronicles 34:31 NLT

Josiah wanted to follow God, knowing that Judah was going to be judged after he died.  He helped Judah follow the Lord in his lifetime by following God's instructions.  I need to follow Jesus' instructions like Josiah followed God.  He followed God with all his heart and soul and that's how I need to live my life for Jesus.

Grow in Grace and Knowledge of Jesus

 

Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.

2 Peter 3:18 NLT

Growing in grace and knowledge means paying attention to what I read in the Word and apply it to my life.  I must pay attention to what the Bible says and what it means and not change what it means to suit me.
