These past few days I've been struck again with how simple life can be and how complex we as human beings have a tendency to make it! Jesus was asked by a group of men what was the great command.....or in other words, "what really matters?", and we see Jesus responding with these words...."You shall Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment." So that's it then! Love God with everything you possess.....heart, soul, and mind!
I wonder this summer how that is going for you? Are you daily keeping "what really matters" in front of your workload, in front of your eyes, in front of your planning, in front of everything else you may think matters? They sound like loaded questions, but really they are just coming from a man that is finding that "what really matters" can be crowded out by "what is really pressing!"
So I want to encourage myself, and you as a person that wants to keep your compass pointed in the right direction.....today, focus on what really matters. Loving God!
May God lead you today as you seek to live your life in a way that is connected to the God who loves you.
Blessings,
Pastor Brian
