Embracing the Greatness of God
“I know the greatness of the Lord – that our Lord is greater than any other god.” (Psalm 135:5, NLT)
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. But as believers, we’re called to prioritize our relationship with God, cultivating a deep and abiding devotion to Him.
What is Devotion, Really?
Dictionary.com defines devotion as “profound dedication; consecration” and “earnest attachment to a cause, person, etc.” For us, devotion is more than just a feeling or an action – it’s a 24/7 mindset of being with God. It’s a choice to set aside dedicated time each day to focus on Him, pouring out our hearts in worship and adoration.
A Heartfelt Expression of Love
Devotion isn’t about checking a box or fulfilling a religious obligation. Rather, it’s an authentic expression of love, flowing from a heart that’s deeply grateful for God’s unconditional love. When we come before our Heavenly Father, we can shed our armor, our masks, and our pretenses, and simply be ourselves. We can come expectant, with hearts open and receptive to His presence.
The Central Focus of Our Devotion
In this sacred space, our Lord becomes the central focus of our devotion. We worship Him, and Him alone. We’re reminded that God’s love for us is unwavering, unrelenting, and unconditional. And from this place of devotion, we can move forward into our day, aligning our lives with His kingdom purposes.
Reflection and Prayer
What draws you to spend time with our Lord today? Take a moment to reflect on your motivations, and then pray with me:
Dear Father, I am devoted to You. May I center my day around You today, so that I can walk in the great love You have for me.
