Friday (August 21): What is the greatest rule of life?

Scripture:  Matthew 22:34-40


But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him. "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" 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. This is the great and first commandment.And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets."


Prayer: "Lord Jesus, your love surpasses all. Flood my heart with your love and increase my faith and hope in your promises. Help me to give myself in generous service to others as you have so generously given yourself to me."
