The Heart of the Matter
THURSDAY
Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Matthew 22:34-40
The greatest commandment given to Moses and confirmed by the Lord Jesus Christ was to love the Lord God with all my heart and as Jesus said, the second is to love others as I love myself. With the commandment came the responsibility to witness to others beginning with my family first and then to all others. That responsibility is not abrogated by the government, my employer, or society. Just as Peter and James said to the court in their day: “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard,” so must I also speak up and be heard. I have a responsibility to the one I love to proclaim the Truth and the Gospel.
Abraham and Israel was chosen and given a place in which to live so that they could proclaim the wonders of God and share with others of three great cultures that He loves them. So it is that God has given me a place to serve and share the Gospel and that with a pure heart.
Prayer: O God, show me this day to whom I should witness and share Your great love. Go before me and prepare the way by your Holy Spirit and get glory to Your Holy name.
