Matthew 22:36-38 (NKJV) 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 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.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment.
God’s word is alive. We’ve talked about that many times in the past.
On that note, this scripture above is one that I’ve read many, many times. Yet, in the fact that God’s word is very much alive, despite me reading it many times before, this time it spoke to me very loudly about something that I hadn’t really paid much attention to in the past.
And it was this; the great (greatest) commandment.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind.
This, in essence, is the foundation of our entire walk with God.
If we can get this right, everything else about our relationship with the Creator will be in proper order, and it will help that relationship to grow and flourish.
So, it’s important that we keep our priorities right in our walk with Him, being sure to always put Him first in everything we do, no matter how big or how small it may seem to us.
This is something that has had a huge impact on our own lives over the years, as God has taught us this most basic, but often-overlooked, principal and truth.
As we have learned it and put it into practice in a sincere, genuine, wholehearted way, He has shown Himself to us in ways that we could never have imagined.
And He will do the very same for you, too, as you walk this truth out in your own lives.
Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
