When Jesus was asked what is the greatest commandment, He said; "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength" Mark 12:30.
The greatest commandment ought to be our greatest priority and the foundation on which we build our life, our family, and our ministry. Though other things may be enjoyable, important, or even necessary, they must never be allowed to occupy the throne of our life.
Many of us feel like we are falling behind because of our decision to follow Christ. We see others prosper and start to believe we must compromise in order to keep pace...but the rules of the game have changed! God has a different plan - an eternal plan!!
The world around us has the wrong uniform, wrong equipment, and wrong play book. The great deceiver would like to fill us with doubt, but we must not be swayed.
No matter how loud the competition yells that we are going the wrong way, we must boldly continue on the path of truth. The final victory has already been won...and we are on the winning team! When God gave His Son and told us to believe, He turned the rules of the world system upside down.
Let's forever follow our Coach, thank Him for every single breath, and steadily run according to His plan!
