Devotion
16 The Lord is King forever and ever;
the nations will perish from His land.
17 Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their hearts.
You will listen carefully,
18 doing justice for the fatherless and the oppressed
so that men of the earth may terrify them no more. Psalm 10:16-18
When you look at your devotion to the Lord and His teachings, do you think about His devotion to you? We spend a lot of time thinking about our plight, about our hurt and not much time reflecting on the Lord's history of being devoted to the people who love Him and follow Him. I can spend all day talking to God, reading His Word, listening to uplifting music and reading devotional books, but am I really devoting myself to Him and His teachings or am I walking a path to look good to Him. When you truly devote yourself to God, it looks very different than what is listed above. Your walk is very different, your thoughts turn to what is good, and you live an uplifting life because of God's guidance. A humble respect of our Father in Heaven is what He wants from us and when we begin to Devote ourselves Humbly, His actions will be more clear to all of us.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
