Joshua 22:5

v. 31  The second is like it and is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  There is no other commandment greater than these.

[ed]

Psalms 14:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

I ride my bicycle to work early in the morning.  Venus is glowing big and  bright. 

Happy Valentines day!

:HeartThrob:

[micah7:9]

What is this "valentines day?" What has it to do with my walk?
I understand anna's verses, they are beautiful and true  :dsunny:

Just another day to be lovely.

A special day to be lovely.

I can see where it would be less then that for people who befuddled about love.  It is a good day to pray for love  for those who do not know love, or for some reason, do not have a particular love.  Every day is a day to care.

Just rocking the boat!

[anna274]

I "celebrate Valentine's Day"-- received a few and gave a few.  One that I received early this morning was a hand-made valentine (not by a child... an adult that knows that I truly appreciate hand-made gifts)...  my family, friends, fellow workers, fellowshippers etc. know that I love them... everyday... but I give valentines anyway because I know that they really enjoy "celebrating" and even count the number of valentines they receive.  Besides, for me it's just another occasion to discuss the love of God...

I just couldn't resist sharing 2/14 as "Heart Day"... I knew that Psalm 14:2 tells us of God's longing for all men to seek Him and I'm still in the process of refining the Seekers Devotional which is based on Ps119:2  Seek Him with Whole Heart and am using many of the "whole heart" verses in the devotional...

Perhaps, I should change the title to 'HEART DAY--every day"???  :)

BTW ed... Psalm 14 has only 7 verses.  The Psalm you are quoting is Psalm 19:14 and Psalm 19 has another verse with "heart" in it  v. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the HEART; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Matt 4:4
Jesus ...It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.       
every word: precepts, statutes, commandments, law, testimonies, etc.   Psalms 19 and 119 tell us much about the word ...

Awesome Anna....................

I'm married male and getting flowers definitely helps my walk!

Cool insight on Psa 19.

Psa 19:14(oops) Has been a personal favorite of mine for years.  Part of my memory verses that helped me keep my mind renewed as a youngster.  Seeking after God with the whole heart.  Love it.
