I just listened to a song called ‘Devotion’ by Gas Street Music, which can be found here.
I wonder to whom, or to what, you are most devoted? The song uses the word ‘all’, and it names the things that the singer wants to give to Jesus, out of devotion to him (“All my affection, all of my praise” etc).
The first Christians in the world ever were absolutely devoted, not just to Jesus and his message but also to one another. Check it out in the book of Acts, chapter 2 verse 42:
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
They faced a lot of opposition, but because of their devotion and their unwavering commitment to the cause, the message of Jesus and the Church spread like wildfire. Of course the Holy Spirit had a big role to play too.
What gets in the way of your devotion to Jesus? Why not use this song or the Bible verse above to help you to realign your devotion to him? Better still, why not join together with a couple of friends who want to do the same thing, and start a discipleship group together! If this is you, we’d love to hear from you so please let us know if we can encourage or even mentor you in this.
