Love for God Above All

The greatest commandment Jesus gave us is to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (Matthew 22:37). Yet in our busy, distracted world, this love often takes a back seat to countless competing desires and priorities. This seven-day study invites you to examine what it truly means to place God above all else—not out of obligation, but out of genuine, passionate devotion.

Throughout Scripture, we see examples of men and women who loved God supremely: Abraham, who left everything to follow God's call; David, whose heart burned with desire for God's presence; Mary of Bethany, who sat at Jesus' feet choosing the better thing. These accounts challenge us to ask: What would it look like if I loved God above my career, my relationships, my comfort, my reputation?

This study is not about achieving perfection or earning God's favor through intense emotion. Rather, it's about reordering our affections so that our love for God becomes the gravitational center of our entire existence. When we love God above all, everything else finds its proper place. Our relationships improve, our decisions align with His purpose, our fears diminish, and our joy multiplies.

As you journey through these seven days, expect the Holy Spirit to illuminate areas where other loves have crowded out your devotion to God. Come with an open heart, ready to surrender what needs surrendering and embrace what God desires to give you. 💕 By the end of this week, may you discover a deeper, more authentic love for the God who has loved you first and loves you completely. ✨
