Love
The Lord Your God With All Your Heart, All Of Your Soul,
And
All Your Mind. This Is The First And Greatest Commandment.
A
Second Is Equally Important: “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself.”
Scripture
Matthew
22
37 Jesus
replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your
heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
Observation
It
was another trick question.
The
religious leaders were trying to trap Jesus by asking Him questions
that they hoped would cause Him to say something that they could use
to condemn Him, but every time they tried they failed.
Hey,
trying to hoodwink the Creator of the Universe didn't work back then
and it won't work today.
Jesus
knows our thoughts. There is no tricking or hoodwinking Him.
We
might be able to fool those around us, but we are not going to fool
God.
Obedience
to these two commandments is what He desires from me and what He
desires from you this week.
Application
This
week I will strive to put Jesus first, others second, and myself
last!
How
about you?
Matthew
20
28 For even the
Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his
life as a ransom for many.”
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to love You with all my heart, with all my soul, and
with all my mind. And help me to love my neighbor as much as I love
myself. Don't let me miss opportunities to serve You by serving those
around me. Help me to be sensitive to the needs of those around me.
