LOVING GOD SUPREMELY Matthew 10: 34- 39
Devotional:-“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me” (v.37) NKJV
Living in love demand that we take good care of people around us. But there is a new dimension to love that God introduces to us in the scripture we read today. This is by loving God above all other persons. To love God supremely is to choose to do His will when there is a clash of interest between loving people and God. It means we have to choose to love God above all other persons. Many people live in the bondage of people's opinion. But we must live in God’s opinion. This is the reason why you don't allow anyone to come between you and God. You must ask for the wisdom of God to handle this when it is between God and your parents or spouse, your boss or senior ones. Any spirit directing you contrary to the word of God is not of God. You must learn to love God above all. A woman may have parents, but she should know that she must submit to her husband above them to keep her home intact (Ephesians 5:22-24). So also, we must obey Jesus to keep our God. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, give me the wisdom and courage to make you first
“WHATEVER IS FIRST, IS GOD”
