Devotion in 2022

King David said in Psalm 27:4, "One thing I have desired of the Lord." Paul says in Philippians 3:13, "This one thing do." We often try to compartmentalize our lives, which is not what God intends. Our Lord intends us to be devoted to what God has asked us to do.

We need to take some of our commitments, get rid of them, and be more committed to the Lord. For example, it's McDonald's every Monday, Tee-Ball Tuesday, Work out on Wednesday, Tae-Bo Thursday, Fishing Friday, Yard-selling Saturday...No wonder we're sleeping on Sunday. We need to learn to be less devoted to our desires and more dedicated to what God expects and desires.

When we are attending church in spurts, we are going backward in our spiritual life, and most of the time, we do not even realize it. Anything we should be doing for God should be done with total devotion and not a little here and there. That goes for praying, reading the Bible, and giving to the Lord's work.
