The world values spirituality – no matter how psychologists, psychiatrists, and scientists try to explain it away. People still seek to nurture their spirit by turning to various gods, peace in nature, art, music, or to the universe. When they do, they experience some solace, perhaps…but they cannot possibly know the fullness of spiritual fulfillment unless they seek the only one who can truly provide it.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

Mark 12:30

Jesus said the greatest commandment was to love God. He was talking about the Creator of the universe, God of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, the Jews, and Christians. The great commandment is not talking about some generic force. Its meaning is very specific: the three-in-one God, The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whom you are to love with your mind, emotions, and physical body…indeed, your very life and breath.

This is the greatest commandment. Pray that the Holy Spirit will move on the people of the United States to turn to Jesus, the only way to the Father (John 14:6). Then ask the mighty, triune God to make Himself undeniably real to your national leaders in Washington, D.C.
