Verse: Luke 10:25-27

Remember, see the devotional introduction for instruction on how to follow this devotional for the Be the Church series.

Reflect

• In these verses, Jesus summarized the intention of all of the Law. One word these commands have in common is love. Which of the two commands—love God, love your neighbor—comes most naturally to you? Which is the greatest challenge, and why?
• What step will you take today in your thoughts, attitude, or actions to make yourself more available to love others in need?

For further study, see Deuteronomy 6:5, Leviticus 19:18, and Matthew 5:43.

Spend Time in Prayer

• What is God showing you personally through your devotion time today? Ask God to guide you in applying what you have learned?
• Pray for the spiritual growth of another person whom God may be challenging to put his or her Faith in Action.
• Pray for someone you know is in need.
