Morning Scripture
“And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.””
Matthew 22:39-40 NKJV

“A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.””
Matthew 22:39-40 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.22.39-40.NLT

Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for commanding us to love each other. Father help us to be reminded that we should love each other as we love ourselves. Teach us to value ourselves, to love ourselves, so that we become equipped to love each other. Loving ourselves can be challenging, because we make missteps and we blame ourselves harshly. Continue, Father, to put into us your love and care because the more we feel your love, love ourselves, the more we can love our neighbor. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen.
PS. When I look at the scriptures from yesterday and today, I finally see the vertical and horizontal relationships. The vertical is your relationship with God (v 37). The horizontal is your relationship with others (v 39). Together they make a cross. Jesus solidifying all of our relationships on the cross. Glory!!

Morning Scripture
““But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ “For many are called, but few are chosen.”” Matthew 22:11-14 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.22.14.NKJV ““But when the king came in to meet the guests, he noticed a man who wasn’t wearing the proper clothes for a wedding. ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how is it that you are here without wedding clothes?’ But the man had no reply. Then the king said to his aides, ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ “For many are called, but few are chosen.”” Matthew 22:11-14 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.22.11-14.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things, for providing all that I need. Father, forgive us for not wrapping ourselves in the trappings of your grace. Forgive us for ignoring the feast of mercy set out before us. Forgive us for not recognizing that you have given us ALL, free of charge. We received an invitation to a feast of plenty and we refuse to let go of our habits. We brought with us our resentment and our selfish attitudes. Father, help us to see our gaps. Help us to recognize our plenty. And, Lord, help us realize that what you are offering is a gift. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. Amen. Amen. PS. I used to get offended at verse 14, few are chosen. But the choosing is a reflection of what we honestly pour into our God-given gifts, talents, and expectations. How many half-baked pies do we accept at Thanksgiving ? I’m just saying. Lolol |

Morning Scripture
“Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men. Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”” Matthew 22:15-17 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.22.15-17.NKJV “Then the Pharisees met together to plot how to trap Jesus into saying something for which he could be arrested. They sent some of their disciples, along with the supporters of Herod, to meet with him. “Teacher,” they said, “we know how honest you are. You teach the way of God truthfully. You are impartial and don’t play favorites.” Matthew 22:15-16 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.22.15-16.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father God, please grant us the wisdom, discernment, and courage to see people’s ulterior motives, often couched in flattery and half truths. Help us to see behind the flowery words to the truth. Then, Lord, grant us the right words to say in response. Help us to keep You in the forefront and the enemy on the porch. In Jesus’ name we pray and listen. Amen. Amen. Amen. LOL. As I typed ‘keep You on the forefront’ my brain said “Nope, don’t want him behind me. He might push me.” So I had to leave the enemy on the porch like a bad dog being punished, and away from our situations. Lololol. |

Morning Scripture
“But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? Show Me the tax money.” So they brought Him a denarius. And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.” Matthew 22:18-22 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.22.22.NKJV “But Jesus knew their evil motives. “You hypocrites!” he said. “Why are you trying to trap me? Here, show me the coin used for the tax.” When they handed him a Roman coin, he asked, “Whose picture and title are stamped on it?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. “Well, then,” he said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.” His reply amazed them, and they went away.” Matthew 22:18-22 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.22.18-22.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for reminding us that what you have poured into us is not designed to take away from someone else. Thank you for reminding us that the path you have for us is not designed to cause confusion. And thank you for reminding us that there are earthly and heavenly obligations - and one is not designed to erode the other. Father, thank you, for these lessons and for these thy gifts. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. Amen. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.” Matthew 22:34-38 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.22.34-38.NKJV “But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees with his reply, they met together to question him again. One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question: “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” Matthew 22:34-38 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.22.34-38.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Lord God, we love you. We love you because you first loved us. We love you because you continue to love and care for us despite how we can treat you, treat ourselves, or each other. Thank you for being a patient Father, willing to teach us and chastise us, but never leave us. Father, we love you with all of our heart, soul, and mind. It is our desire to to serve in your kingdom. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise you - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. Amen. Amen. |
