Psalm 18:1 (NLT) 1 I love you, Lord; you are my strength.<\/p>\n

In our lives as followers of Christ, we have one goal; to love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our strength.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJV) 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.<\/p>\n

All other goals should take a back seat to these.<\/p>\n

And it’s interesting that when Jesus walked the earth, He added to these, reinforcing their importance in ways that people could easily grasp.<\/p>\n

In Matthew 22:37, He added “mind” to this command.<\/p>\n

Matthew 22:37 (NKJV) 37 Jesus said to him, \u201c\u2018You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind<\/span>.\u2019<\/p>\n

Then, in Mark 12:30, they are all tied together; heart, soul, mind, and strength.<\/p>\n

Mark 12:30 (LSB) 30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength<\/span>.\u2019<\/p>\n

This makes it super easy to see and understand the great importance of loving God and putting Him first in everything about our lives.<\/p>\n

Not second, third, or anywhere else on down the ladder.<\/p>\n

FIRST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let this be our most sincere prayer and goal in all that we do; loving God first and foremost, above all else.<\/p>\n

Amen \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n
