Thought for Friday August 25


Give thanks to the Lord; his love is everlasting.
They cried to the LORD in their distress;
from their straits he rescued them.
And he led them by a direct way
to reach an inhabited city.
Give thanks to the Lord; his love is everlasting.


Matthew 22: 34 – 40  He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
 
Do devices and tasks and commitments and work and anxieties and….  get in the way of doing anything with all of my heart, soul or mind?  Has trying to obey these two commandments ever affected any real decision in my life? 

Action:  Find a time this weekend to put everything aside and focus all of your heart, mind and soul in prayer.  Give yourself a grade for length of time and how well you focused – then try to beat it the following weekend.
