The Right Order Of Love And Prudence In Luke 14, Jesus tells his disciples "“If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple." Remember that in Exodus 20 honor your father and mother is the fourth commandment, the first three are about the love of God; a love Jesus claims as his own. How do we love rightly?
" Who can know God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the LORD intends? For the deliberations of mortals are timid, and unsure are our plans. For the corruptible body burdens the soul and the earthen shelter weighs down the mind that has many concerns." Wisdom 9
