ARE YOU DEVOTED?

Having devotions and being devoted are two different things.

It's easy to focus on your devotions rather than the object of your devotions.As you go through this book(or your own bible study routine),do your best to focus on God rather than the discipline of daily devotions.If you focus on the devotions,your routine can easily become mundane,kind of like a homework assignment.But if you focus on God,then you will learn what it means to be devoted instead of just having devotions.

Being devoted simply means giving our time,our effort,our money,and ourselves to someone,some purpose,or some thing.We can devote to a career,a person,or even a hobby or activity.So why not devote ourselves to God?Let's meet with Him daily to get to know Him better,to learn what pleases,to learn what pleases Him, and to find out what He wants us to do.

"Get to know the God of your ancestors.Worship and serve him with your whole heart and with a willing mind,"
