Devoted

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 36:7

We run to God. There is safety in the Lord. Have you ever been on a long journey and then you finally get back home. How good is that feeling of being home. God’s presence is like that. We just want to be close to the Lord. “God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.  ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” Acts 17:27,28

Delighting in the Lord is the greatest privilege. Being devoted is being set apart. Set apart for His praise. Set apart for His calling. We were made for kingdom purpose. In our families, our workplaces, our friendships, we get to shine for Jesus.

Heavenly Father, as you are close, I feel so secure. Help me devote myself to you. In Jesus name, amen.
