"Each of you has put to flight a thousand of the enemy for the Lord your God fights for you, just as he has promised. So be careful to keep on loving him" (Joshua 23:10-11, The Living Bible).
Joshua is addressing the Israelites near the end of his life. He recounts to them where God has taken them and their forefathers and instructs them about what matters most: "keep on loving him".
My devotional this morning encouraged me to communicate what I would say in a "farewell address" to the world. It would come straight from Matthew 22:37-40:
-Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
-Love your neighbor as yourself.
-All the Law and the Prophets hand on these two commands.
Oy! I have to leave for work, but there's a bit of a summary :).
Father, please help us to love you and others in the way that you intend us to.
"Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus... Just from Jesus simply taking life and joy and peace...Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, oh, for grace to trust Him more!"
