Love God. Love others. Jesus identified these as the greatest commandments. If it all starts with Loving God, what does that mean? Way back when God’s people were growing in their identity, God gave them these words, “Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.” Simple right? Not so fast. Today we continue our journey into discovering how we love God as Pastor Jon discusses loving God with all your soul.

Psalm 42

1 As a deer longs for flowing streams, so I long for You, God.

2 I thirst for God, the living God. When can I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my food day and night, while all day long people say to me, “Where is your God?”

4 I remember this as I pour out my heart: how I walked with many, leading the festive procession to the house of God, with joyful and thankful shouts.

5 Why, my soul, are you so dejected? Why are you in such turmoil? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God.

6 I am deeply depressed; therefore, I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and Your billows have swept over me.

8 The LORD will send His faithful love by day; His song will be with me in the night—a prayer to the God of my life.
