All

 

    All in Hebrew is khol (כֹּל).  In Greek all is óloi (όλοι).  Then in Latin all is omnia.  Together they conclude that all is everything.  This includes quantity, group, or things, but emphasizes numbers.

    God is the only living God. He commands all people to love Him with all your heart, soul, and strength.  This means that you commit yourself to His commands.  Meditate on them and have them become a standard for your moral living.  Teach them to your children.  Pray over them, so that they become a part of who you are.  Put reminders where you need them.

    When you choose your own path over the path God has prepared for you, then you are asking for trouble.  When God's people did that for a number of generations, God exiled them from the promised land for 70 years.  They cherished His gift over Him.  He had to teach all His people a lesson on priorities.  His plans are always for our benefit.  Pray over your plans and listen to how God responds before moving forward.  All your plans need to go through Him for approval.  He may take things away for a while for your benefit, but He will also restore your fortune.

    Jesus was asked how a person can have eternal life.  Jesus returned the question by asking how well did they know God's Word.  The man responded that you are to love God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind.  Then you are to love your neighbors (all people).  Jesus concluded he was correct.  We know the secret of salvation.  We don't need to ask anymore.

    We have all sinned and fallen short of God's standards, but in God's glory and grace He still gave us Jesus.  Jesus freed us from our penalty of sin when he sacrificed himself for all of us.  This is proof that God is more than fair to His people.  He has shown us all His righteousness, justice, and love.  All you have to do is follow Jesus.

    Be grateful for all that you have in life: things, people, animals, health, all aspects of life.  It is the secret to living a happy life.  Whether you have a full stomach or you go hungry, plenty or little in life you can choose to be grateful for what you do have or not.  If God is directing it, then you can do all things in life.  He provides you the strength.  He prepares you.  He will never send you alone.  When things get hard, remember that truth.

    Remain faithful to what you have learned in the Bible because you know the truth.  You have received wisdom in trusting Jesus.  God inspired all the scriptures and the Holy Spirit will guide you how to use them in all circumstances.  He will use them to correct you when you need it.  God prepares and equips His people in every way to serve in good works.

    Do not forget because time is not bound to be linear for God like it is for us.  He sees all.  He remembers all (unless you repent and he erases it from you).  God is not slow.  He is patient.  He is being patient for our sake, so that we all have a good chance to turn to Him and find salvation.  He does not want to destroy anyone.  He wants us all in Heaven with Him, but it is our choice.  The day of the Lord will come.  It is our responsibility to be prepared.
