SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY      Matthew 22:34-40

³⁴ When the Pharisees learned that the Sadducees could not argue with Jesus' answers to them, the Pharisees met together.³⁵ One Pharisee, who was an expert on the law of Moses, asked Jesus this question to test him:³⁶ "Teacher, which command in the law is the most important?"

 ³⁷ Jesus answered, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.'^[a] 38 This is the first and most important command.³⁹ And the second command is like the first: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.'^[b] 40 All the law and the writings of the prophets depend on these two commands."

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we ask You to not only open our eyes to that which is around us, but we ask You to open the eyes of our hearts so that we might envision that which is true and that which is false on a spiritual level. When we hide Your Word in our hearts we more quickly discern that which is masqueraded as good, but its source is from one of Satan’s servants “masquerading as a servant of righteousness.” Because Your Spirit reigns in our hearts and knowledge from Scripture fills our minds, we affirm that which is Scriptural and reject that which is heresy. May we ever be vigilant in attaining Scriptural knowledge and fervent in prayer as we encounter the gods of this age. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
