Daily Devotional
"Practice the Great Commandment" (Heartlight/Today's Verse with Phil Ware)
Scripture: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself." — Matthew 22:37-39
Insight: "Some things are just not complicated to understand. However, that doesn't mean putting them into practice is easy. Jesus was clear in what He said. Living for God can be boiled down to two principles: 1) Loving God with everything I am and have. 2) Loving others and treating them as I would like to be treated. Those principles are certainly not too hard to understand. It's the living of them that is our challenge. So, let's not just understand these two principles of love; let's live them out in our daily lives." Read or hear the rest of the devotion & share!
