True devotion

True devotion

“GOD is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout for people who are totally committed to him …”
1 Chronicles 16:9 (MSG)

To be truly successful, there are some keys that you must adhere to. The first is devotion to God. It is impossible to separate the quality of your life and the outcomes of your existence from your relationship with God. It is possible to deceive others that you are spiritual or that you know God, but the result speaks for itself.

What is devotion? A feeling of strong love or loyalty. Is your heart loyal and totally committed to God? If God finds the devotion of your heart that way, you will see that there will be a God dimension to whatever you do.

Devotion can also refer to the use of time, money, energy, etc. for a particular purpose. Therefore it is important you realize that you are not truly loyal to God if He does not have your time, money and resources. Mathew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

Prayer, worship or other religious activities that are done in private rather than in a religious service can also be referred to as devotion. Therefore, if you are not create time to study the Word of God or pray outside what you do in church, you are not truly devoted to God.
Dear Father, I commit all that I am and all that I have to Your pleasure. May my life continually bring praise and glory to Your name.  As I offer my life as a living sacrifice to You, let every service I render be acceptable unto You sanctified of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
