DEVOTION - Day 31

1 Chronicles 22:19
19 Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the LORD your God. Begin to build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD.”


Today, the devotion includes the verse that we discussed when we met on that Wednesday night 31 days ago and agreed to challenge ourselves to spending some time with God daily. I sincerely hope that over the last 31 days you’ve made God a priority and spent time with him each day. Below are the bullet points from the message I presented that night:

Big Idea:

A commitment to devotion will build up your life to be used by God.

The deal:

• You devote your time to those things that you place value on

• Devotion is an act of love and worship

• Devotion is where true change happens

The reality:

• Devotions are time with God

• They can be in the form of Bible study, prayer, private worship, or anything else outside of corporate worship

• They are another way to “tithe”

The challenge:

• From where you are today, do more

• Pray that God will truly change your life through this process

For me, the last 31 days have been amazing. To be honest, when I first thought of the challenge, I thought it was a really good idea, but was quite unsure of my follow through. I have been able to complete all 31 days and have been blessed to have things to write about each day. In fact, I have heard compliments and testimonies from a lot of people because of this blog. It has shown me a lot about my life and I hope that it’s done the same for you.

So, today, pray that God will give you the resolve and strength to continue making time with Him a priority. Ask Him to continue to show you that time with Him equals obedience and that when you are obedient, He blesses you. Finally, pray that your devotion time will truly change you and make you more like Jesus.

Please let me know how your 31 days have gone. I would love to hear your story of how God is changing you through this time alone with Him. Post here or on Facebook what God has done in your life throughout the last 31 days.
