FAITH PRESCRIPTION: When there is love for God you will seek Him in a unique way.

Numbers 23, 24

Daniel’s love for God established his custom approach and relationship with his God. Daniel could not let the day pass by without going into the presence of God. The kind of love Daniel had for God, positioned him for deliverance and preservation from the hand of his enemies. When he was marked for an untimely death in the den of hungry lions, he made his way out by virtue of his testimony in Daniel 6:10, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.” How can a believer claim to love God and only pray when challenge shows up? It takes more than church attendance every Sunday to worship God and to show our love for Him. God is a jealous God and the antidote of jealousy is attention. When we give all our attention to God, heaven is bound to attend to all of our needs. When Gods sees our love for Him He will respond with His love for us.
It is written in Romans 9:15, “For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”As much as God’s mercy is for only the ones He chooses to have mercy, when you love God, you have positioned yourself for undeniable mercy of God. Exodus 20:6 confirmed the mercy of God for those who love Him when it stated, “but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep my commandments.”  
Among the blessings of loving God is that God will always fight on the unknown and known enemy on behalf of those who love. God fought on behalf of the children of Israel against Balak and Balaam without them having any knowledge of Him fighting their battle against Balak and Balaam. When you love the Lord, He will turn against your enemy like He did for the children of Israel against Balak and Balaam. God is true as stated, “…LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.” (Deuteronomy 23:5) Also when you love God, His blessings will pass onto your descendants. It was the love of God for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that moved God to bring out the children of Israel from the bondage of over four hundred years in Egypt. In reference to the deliverance of the children of Israel, the Bible recorded, “And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them; and He brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power.” (Deuteronomy 4:37)

Prayer for today: Ask for the love of God to overwhelm your life.
