Let's not trust in our standards. They’re way too low.

Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:36-40 (NIV)

As I am dealing with the technical difficulties in fishing my Bible study Podcast on 1 Peter, I wanted to share one of my favorite passages from the Bible. Take some time out today and truly reflect upon what Jesus is saying here.

If we simplify our lives and humble ourselves, we can make meaningful steps forward in our walk with God. Let’s not trust in our own standards, we see how those are working out in this world. Let us trust in Jesus, and let his standards be ours.

God Bless and thanks for checking in. Oh, and I WILL have the 1st Podcast up soon!
