You
Must Love The Lord Your God With All Your Heart,
All
Your Soul,
All
Your Mind, And All Your Strength.
Scripture
Mark
12
28 One
of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the
debate. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, “Of
all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 Jesus
replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O
Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord.
30 And you
must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your
soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’
31 The
second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
No other commandment is greater than these.”
Observation
This
is the one thing that you and I need to get right in life. If we
don't get this right then nothing is going to be right. Marriage will
not work. Our relationships will not work. Nothing is going to be
right if we don't have this right.
What
am I talking about?
It
is this: You and I must love the Lord our God with all our heart, all
our soul, all our mind, and all our strength.
If
we keep our relationship with God as our number one priority then
everything else will make sense.
In
fact, that is exactly what Jesus told us in Matthew 6:33, “ Seek
the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he
will give you everything you need.”
Do
you want things to be better in your relationships? Put God first!
Do
you want a great marriage? Then both of you need to put God first!
Application
I
will start out this day by putting God first in my life.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, every day I have a choice. Today I choose to allow You first
place in my life. Help me to bring You honor and glory with how I
live out this day. Don't let me mess up. Keep me away from stupid
sins that mess up my walk with You. You are Mighty God. Help me to
put You first, others second, and myself last.
