We are supposed to love the Lord our God with all our strength. In the Old Testament, the word used for “strength” here is most often translated as “very” or “much.” So, more than just, “love the Lord your God with all your muscles” this passage is saying to love God… a lot! We should get excited about God, which is pretty easy considering all He’s done for us! It’s a very good thing to be respectful before the Lord, but sometimes we just need to get up, dance, and shout praises to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Love the Lord your God with all your “muchness!”
