"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 31 August 2011"
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 your strength."
This verses starts with a command for the people to respond properly to God. We as Christians must listen and obey. The Lord our God indicated that we have a personal relationship with the living God. The "Lord is one", means "the Lord alone." There is only one God.
Moses repeatedly stressed to the Israelites to respond to God's love with devotion. In this context, the word love means "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 on 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." Jesus said that there is no greater commandment than these.
Today's Hymn: "At The Cross"
Alas! and did my Savior bled, and did my sovereign die
Would He devote that sacred head, for a sinner 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 in 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 in our daily lives of loving you Lord, with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our strength. How happy we are Lord that by faith we have placed our faith and trust in You that we may might be happy all the day.
Amen
