The Back Door

Sometimes I come at Scripture backwards, shall we say, like coming in the back door. Let me explain.

Matthew 22: 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ Link to Text

I am thinking in this moment that is exactly what we do, especially when we have a god other than Him.
_{(Remember now, I said backwards . . . back door.)}
The evil one does all he can to see to it that we put other gods before GOD, that we give those gods our heart, mind, and soul. I mean, we go after those little g gods with all we got — careers, cars, houses, prestige, making money, pleasures, comforts, etc., etc.

So, this being true, take heart, my dear Friends, because when we give our allegiance to the LORD GOD, when we surrender to His LORDSHIP, to the GOD and Savior, HE WILL do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can think or ask (Ephesians 3:20-21) to enable us to do just what He said: love Him with all our hearts, soul, and mind. We can REST in this. We can believe this. We can receive this with great joy!

Is my back door making sense to you?
We know from experience that the evil one gives us more help than we want to do the opposite of what GOD says to do.
SO, since the evil one does that, we KNOW the Father will go infinitely beyond and in the other direction to enable us to obey His Word.

Of course! He is going to help us to do every good thing He wants us to do!

And to all that, I can only say, Thank You, Father; we are depending on You.
