Matthew 22:40
What Jesus is saying here is that no matter where you look in God’s Word, these two commandments are going to be the basis, the very foundation, for all of the doctrines you will encounter. They are the very core of the attempt to understand God. Without them, you have no Guide for your understanding, for the Spirit Himself is the driver of this way of thinking. He will not bring you to a place of mental and emotional maturity without these two pillars. there is no attempt on the part of God or of Christ to bring anyone to a higher place without these ideas. They are absolutely indispensable. Completely they are without equivocation the very heartbeat of what we are to think and be. Living outside of the light of their enlightening influence is to live in the danger zone. God will not hold us guiltless, whoever we be that try to make our lives through without these two important commands.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the mouth we have to praise You!. May our lips forever be found to sing Your praise. May we forever thank You for Your magnanimous beneficence, Your merciful kindness, and Your good sense of justice. With you, those of us who see this world in a very discriminating light, judging even where we ought not, will find Your justice to be altogether right in each matter. You cannot be fooled, You cannot be sold, You cannot be mocked. You will never let us down, for You are always there for us. Thank You, Almighty Father! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
