The Lord did not leave us without explicit instruction. As Moses directed his people toward the Promised Land, he would clearly remind them that their foremost important duty was to love God, to love God with all their hearts, with all their minds, all their souls, and all their strengths (Deut. 6:5).

When Jesus was asked which is the greatest of all commandments, He profoundly answered to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and with all your mind. This call to action brings to mind a song from the past titled “I Don’t Know How to Love Him.”

How about you? Do you know how to respond to this call to action?

I would suggest you begin by ministering to the Lord:

Ministering to the Lord is drawing near to him personally and privately. Ministering to the Lord is not about what others see us do, but what the Lord alone enjoys as we spend time with Him. Ministry to the Lord is the highest calling in Life, and every single one of us can do it.

I love it when I come home and my wife has washed and folded my clothes, made a nice dinner, and straightened out our room, but these things don’t even come close to the way I feel when she just takes time to hold my hand, share something important to her with me, or just being by my side, loving me. The same is true of the Lord. It’s a far higher calling to minister to Him, than to minister for Him. (Ezekiel 44)
