Grace for your spirit January 6, 2008

And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND Mt 22:37

The first command given to Moses in the Ten Commandments was "You shall have no other gods before Me". While Moses was receiving the commands, His people were building a gold calf god at the base of Mt. Sinai. Their hearts, their souls, their minds, their energy, and their devotion had already gone in another direction. With that energy spent, they would not be able to keep any command of God. A Christian asked me one day if it would be all right to have other gods beside Him or behind Him? God’s children have used that logic for centuries. It led them into bondage every time. Where is it leading us? The answer to that question is ALL. ALL leaves no room for anything else. ALL

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
