July 22, 2010 ~ Be Devoted...


Where or to whom is your devotion?


TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves"

Romans 12:10

What are you devoted to in your life? Being devoted to something is simply being loyal by giving of your time, affection and resources. Many people today are devoted to certain restaurants, television programs and even their cell phones! There's nothing wrong with any of that, but we have to examine our own hearts and see if we are being devoted to the people God has placed in our lives. Are we honoring others above ourselves?

The world's system says to "look out for number one—yourself," but God's system says "look out for others, and I will look out for you."


Selah people' and friends today, as you examine your own heart and life, ask the Lord to show you ways that you can honor others. One way is by simply being faithful to your word. Be a person of integrity and honor. As you live your life devoted to one another and honoring others, you are actually honoring God. He will repay you for your kindness and reward you in this life and in eternity!


OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Heavenly Father, teach me to be a person of honor. Teach me to be devoted to others the way You desire. Fill me with Your love which is all that matters in eternity. I bless You and thank You for Your goodness. In Jesus' Name. Amen."


Your brother in Christ,
Patrick
