Love God

Scripture:
”’One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?’ ‘The most important one,’ answered Jesus, ‘is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’” (Mark 12:28-30)

Thought for the day:

Phil Maynard, in the Disicipler, asks us to “Consider the ways you love God with your heart, soul, mind, and strength.”

So often we move onto the next passage that tells us “to love your neighbor as yourself.” What might happened if we lingered on this first part though…
How are we loving God with our heart?
How are we loving God with our soul?
How are we loving God with our mind?
How are we loving God with our strength?

What do our answers reveal about our relationship with God?

Prayer for the day:

Heavenly Father, me to assess my relationship with God through the actions of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Amen.
