OUR ALL!

Matthew 22:37 – Devotional

Matthew 22:37

“Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.’“

Mankind’s natural tendency seems inclined towards always trying to gain something by investing as little as possible. It is like that old story of the young man who was writing a love letter to his sweetheart vowing he would climb the highest mountain for her. He would swim the widest river for her. He would fight a ferocious tiger for her. He closed his letter to the love of his life by promising he would drop by her house on Saturday … “if it’s not raining.” Ooops!

Far too often we fail to give our entire self to the Lord. We may talk a good talk, but when it comes down to being totally sold out to the Lord, we fail to walk the talk. The Pharisees tried to find fault in the teachings of Jesus when they asked which was the greatest Commandment? Matthew 22:37 was His reply.

Let me ask you a very personal question (I am asking it of myself as well). How do we measure up in our own response to this greatest commandment of them all? Can we truly say we love the Lord our God with ALL our heart, our soul, and our mind? It is time to look into the mirror of God’s Word and see what He sees.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
