God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Wednesday 22 June 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: Deuteronomy 6:4,5 "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all you strength."

Moses repeatedly stressed to the the Israelites to respond to God's love with devotion.  In this context, the word love may mean "to take one's choice in."  God commanded His people to choose Him with all their hearts, soul's and strength, and in that to deny all other supposed deities.

The Scriptures basic principles are laid out here.  Parents are to love God themselves and take His words to heart.  In verses 6-8 they are then to talk about His words in the living of their daily life, and so make them real to their boys and girls.  

In Mark 12:28-30  one of the Jewish scribes listening to Jesus speak, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?"  Jesus responded to the question with this verse from Deuteronomy and also added, "And the second , like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'  There is no other greater commandment then these."

Today's Hymn: "At The Cross" (verse 1)

Alas! and did my Savior Bled, and did my sovereign die
Would He devote that sacred head, for sinners such as I?
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  as we have read Today's Scripture reading may we as Christians apply the words spoken by Moses in the Old Testament and then spoken by Jesus in the New Testament  into our daily lives of loving you Lord, with all our hearts, souls and strength. How happy we are Lord that by faith we have placed our faith and trust in You and we are happy all the day.
                                                                                                                 Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "God goes not abandon us, we abandon God"

"Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
