Psalm 18:1-2 (NLT) 1 I love you, Lord; you are my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s not a secret that God called David a man after His own heart. And there is a very good reason for that; because\u00a0it\u00a0was true.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

David never abandoned God or traded Him in for \u201cother gods\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite his shortcomings as a human being, David loved God deeply throughout his lifetime. That love for God never faltered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One of the things I find interesting about verse 1 in the scriptures above is that the Hebrew word used for love isn\u2019t the word that\u2019s typically used in most other areas of the Bible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Most times, the word used for love in the original Hebrew transcripts indicates the concept or idea of covenant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The word that David used here<\/em>, however, is a rare form of a word that expresses intimacy. In fact, it actually expresses tender<\/em> intimacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

David\u2019s love for God was so intense that he used an uncommon word that more accurately expressed his true passion for his love for God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This should be the goal of every believer; to love God so intensely that our love can\u2019t be described using normal, everyday words.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you\u2019re not there right now, don\u2019t feel bad. Don\u2019t get down on yourself. But take the steps to do whatever it takes to make It happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Remember, we get out what we put in when it comes to our relationship with God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, if loving God intensely is our goal and our desire, let\u2019s take the steps to make it happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We will never, ever be sorry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
