Matthew 22: 37 Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
Jesus is being bothered by the religious authorities. The Pharisees ask what is the greatest commandment. That's after the Sadducees have come with their questions about the afterlife, and after a previous Pharisee question on taxes. They hope to trip Jesus up, but he has all the answers.
If only I could follow this command. But I find myself in reaction mode, struggling through day after day. I don't see the big picture in the midst of the activities. I know that there is relief available, but I am on the treadmill, trying to keep my pace going.
Prayer: Lord, I am not a great servant to You. I don't listen for Your voice in the tumult of daily life. I'm letting life dominate me. Help me to find You everywhere I go.
Amen
