The first greatest commandment
Father God, we lift up holy hands to You who is in heaven and yet watches everything to do with the world and our lives. We say thank you Father God for all that You do and continue to do in our lives. May Your name continue to be praised over all the ends of the earth the name of Jesus, Amen. Thank you LORD.
Mark 12:29-30 (NKJV)
"Jesus answered him, "the first of all commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the LORD God our God, the LORD is one.
And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all of your soul, with all your mind and, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment."
Jesus in His exact words shows us that loving God with all of our hearts and minds is the first and greatest commandment of all times. In case you are wondering, a commandment is a written law or instruction that comes from God. So today, Jesus is reminding us to love Father God with all of our hearts, soul, mind and strength.
Prayer: Thank you Father God for Jesus who has given me understanding in everything concerning our relationship with You. Thank you God because You sent Jesus who saved me from sins of the world (John 3:16) and by His wounds I was healed (1 Peter 2:24). Thank you LORD because in Christ, no good thing will You withhold from me in the name of Jesus. Father God, right now I thank you that You are opening my heart to fully love you with all of my soul, with all of my strength and with all of my mind in the name of Jesus. Thank you Father God because no good thing will You withhold from those who walk uprightly in the name of Jesus. Amen. Thank you LORD.
