032: The Greatest Commandment | Matthew 22:37

Loving God with everything you have. That is the Great Commandment.

It’s funny how many times Jesus doesn’t answer a direct question in the Bible. He usually answers a question with another question. He wants people to think and dive deeper. That is, until someone is trying to test Jesus. Then He doesn’t mess around! Well, today’s One Verse is one of those times. It is during Holy Week, the last week before Jesus goes to the cross (every One Verse this week is from the last week of Jesus’s life.) An “expert” in the law is trying to test Jesus. Well, Jesus knows this and puts this guy in his place pretty fast. But the good part is that we get to listen in and hear this amazing answer from Jesus as He answers the question, “Which is the greatest commandment?”

One Verse is a short, daily devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Consistency trumps intensity. When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can invest in your spiritual life.
