Prayer of the Day: Psa 69:16-18 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. (17) And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. (18) Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

Daily Devotional
Throughout the London subway system are signs that warn, "Mind The Gap." They remind riders to pay attention to the space between the train and the platform. In the United States I've seen signs along highways with the single word, "Think!" The point of both is clear: In the midst of our daily routine, we often fail to engage our minds in what we're doing. Could this also happen in our relationship with God? When Jesus was asked to state the greatest commandment, He replied, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). Our minds are to be as fully yielded to God and as actively engaged in loving Him as our hearts and souls are. In a book on Christian leadership, William H. Danforth writes, "When it is so easy to get our thinking done for us, the big temptation is not to think." Instead of engaging our minds as we worship and serve God, we follow familiar, predictable routines. Instead of thinking fearlessly and creatively about ways to express our love for the Lord, we become content to say and do what we've always done. Thinking is hard work, but loving God is a great privilege that deserves all the mental muscle we can put into it.
