The Greatest of All

Jesus tells us in Mark 12:30 that the greatest commandment we are to follow is to:

³⁰ "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength."

One of the biggest things I have learned so far in my walk with Christ is that in order to live a life fully committed to loving Him and putting God first you must align your heart, priorities, goals, and daily life with Him. I think each of us need to sit down and evaluate our daily lives very often to see where God falls in. Do your actions show that you truly love God with your heart, mind, soul, and strength? Could someone you don't even know tell that you have this underlying love coming from somewhere? I think a lot of us get caught up in daily life and start to put God first only half of the time. Many only truly seek Him when they feel like He is their last hope, when they should have made Him a part of the situation long before it came down to the rut they are in now. I've learned that if you put Him first in every decision, every situation, and every second of life, that life seems to be a lot easier knowing that I can trust God for anything and everything. What areas in your life are you struggling to put God first and to trust in the faith you have in Him? 


As you go about life this week set one or two goals that you can accomplish throughout the week that will help you move your relationship with Jesus forward, and start taking steps to reach them.

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, 
and He will give you everything you need."

Matthew 6:33
