as the heart of David his father had been.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
--King Solomon, Proverbs 9:10

King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women.
--1Kings 11:1

You got to dance with the one that brought you,
Stay with the one that wants you,
The one who's gonna love you when all of the others go home.

Don't let the green grass fool ya,
Don't let the moon get to ya,
Dance with the one that brought you and you can't go wrong.

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen!
--Revelation 2:4-5

Daily Prayer

God of Love, I only know what love is because of You. My kind of love leans toward selfishness. What in it for me? But You, the God of all creation, considered me, the one You created, better than Yourself. Even while I had my back turned to You, You died for me. Your love is sacrificial. It is good. It is life.

God, I have one first love, and that is You. Above all else. And what is amazing is I am able to love others better because I love You fully. Thank You for loving me first.

Amen
