Devote
2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2
Devote is an interesting word, because it really has a couple of different meanings. It can mean to set apart by a solemn or formal act, but strangely enough it can also mean to commit to evil or destruction. I am pretty sure that God meant the first definition for devote when writing these words. So, the question is, what do you devote yourself to? Do you focus on the evil that is around us, or do you spend time in prayer when the world comes crashing down around you. I know that when I spend time in thoughtful prayer, my mind calms and my spirit is lifted. I think I would rather have these feelings than focus on what the enemy makes us think is right but is really destructive to our soul. Prayer lifts us so why not devote yourself to it.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
