Does Love direct your actions?

Morning: Psalms 131, 132; 2 Samuel 19:1-23; Acts 24:1-23
Evening: Psalms 134, 135; Mark 12:28-34

Some do not engage in trickery, but ask Jesus sincere questions, like: “What is the greatest commandment?”  On another level, this is akin to asking: “What would you salvage from your burning house?” It invites you to the heart of your priorities in life.  Jesus’ response expresses the heart of his priorities for the earth … “Love God with heart, soul, mind and strength, and your neighbour as yourself.”  He’s challenging us: So, when the real crisis comes, will Love (for God and neighbour) direct your actions or will you be in a mad scramble to save your own skin?
