Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied: ‘“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”

When the Sadducees tried to trip Jesus up in the words of the law, they did not expect the answer He gave them – and answer we still need to live up to!

Our first commandment should be to love the Lord our God with everything we have, every part of our being and without limit.

This way we get to have a much closer relationship with Him than we could through ‘being a good Christian!’

God wants us to love Him, because He loved us first!

Ephesian 6:11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

How often do you want extra protection so you can do something dangerous or difficult? Would you like to have some serious heat protection so you can see inside a great fire?

When we think of protection we normally think of physical protection and here we are given words to apply physical protection so we can stand up against the devil; because it allows us to realise we do need protection!

When we do things for God, we need spiritual protection against the things the evil one is going to throw in our paths just because he does not want us to succeed.

Fully Rely On God.

Romans 15:1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

Throughout His last days on earth, Jesus remained strong and continued forward with His task in hand. Without Him we would be lost in our sins with not a lot of hope!

Jesus was made strong through the power of God and through that strength was able to bare the weight of our sins on His shoulders.

Sometimes we may well be a little stronger than our neighbours and we should step forward and make sure we can help, following on in the steps of our Saviour Jesus Christ!

Hebrews 12:3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

We really are not alone when we face opposition! God is with us!

Just because we cannot see Him there standing next to us, does not mean He is not there. He may well be standing in front of you deflecting the fiery darts being shot at you!

Always involve God with your decisions. Always involve God in your life. Always assume God is with you. Always listen for His instructions!
