Power Hour - It All Comes Down To Love

Power Hour - Applying God's Word in Prayer.  

The bible scriptures this week lead to Love. What is our response to God's Love and the commandment to Love God with everything we are and Love our neighbour as ourselves.

Hosea 10:12:  I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness,

    and you will harvest a crop of love.

Plow up the hard ground of your hearts,

    for now is the time to seek the Lord,

that he may come

    and shower righteousness upon you.’

Amos 6:12: Can horses gallop over boulders?

    Can oxen be used to plow them?

But that’s how foolish you are when you turn justice into poison

    and the sweet fruit of righteousness into bitterness.

Leviticus 19:18

“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against a fellow Israelite, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

Mark 12: 28-31

The Most Important Commandment

28 One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the debate. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

29 Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. 30 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’[g] 31 The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[h] No other commandment is greater than these.”
