An Act of Devotion
“I know the greatness of the Lord—that our Lord is greater than any other god.� Psalm 135:5 (NLT)
Dictionary.com defines “devotion� as “profound dedication; consecration� and “earnest attachment to a cause, person, etc.� We know that devotion is our 24/7 way of being with God. At the same time, setting aside consecrated time daily to spend with God is my act of devotion; of showing God my profound dedication to Him. It is not a matter of habit or religious duty, but rather it flows out of love.
During this time before our Lord, our Heavenly Father becomes the central focus of our devotion. We worship Him, and only Him. We can come, not only because we love God, but also because we know that God loves us unconditionally. We can come without our armor. We can come expectant and with our hearts opened up to Him. From this central place of devotion, we can move out into the rest of the day, pointing our life towards our King.
Reflection:
What brings you today to spend time with our Lord?
Prayer:
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.

We know that God loves us with an everlasting love and without prompting He does everything for the welfare of our daily life.
Also we know that we in turn give Him lack-lustre response-thanksgivings are routine.
But God is God of Love and His love is etrnal! Praise Him.
Thanks for this ispiring devotional. Blessings.
