Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other.  Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? 33 Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived? 34 Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by miraculous signs and wonders,by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds,like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one [the only God]!  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and with all your soul and with all your strength [your entire being]. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5, AMP)

(2 Corinthians 9:8, AMP)

‘I have made it back from my vacation in Minnesota.  It was so good to see my family and now it’s time for me to get back to writing.  Unfortunately, I did not have the time I needed to create new devotionals for you this week.  But I am working on a series that I think you will enjoy.  I’m looking forward to starting this new series with you next Monday.

The series will be on the Greatest Commandment that has been given to us.

Jesus replied, ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it:  ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ “

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.  The LORD is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.  (Psalm 145:13)

We are half way through our Proverbs study, so I want to check in with you.  What’s God doing in your life?  How has God increased your wisdom through the study of the Proverbs?  I would love to hear all about it.  May we put Proverbs 27:17 into action which says,

Let’s sharpen one another with the Word of God this week!  I’ll start by sharing what God is doing in my life through this study.
