It is important that we do not let the priority of God in our life slip away.
We need to make sure we always "stay devoted." What does devoted mean?
According to dictonary.com, "devote" means to concentrate on a particular pursuit, occupation, purpose, or cause, etc.
To me, the word pursuit sticks out of that small selection of things you could concentrate or devote yourself to.
Synonyms of "pursuit" include: quest, search, hunt, and chase.
We can bring that back to and explain our relationship with God and how we should be living by saying that we as Christians need to concentrate or devote our time and life to searching, seeking, going on a quest for, etc. God in our life and what He is doing and how He is working through you to better the world and share Him.
That is such a blessing and really, as Sarah Young puts it, "such a joyous privilege that it feels like a luxury."
To be devoted to and serve the being that created this entire universe, is so incredibly awesome. We cannot ask for anything more in our lives than to have God.
Sometimes we might feel like we are rushed and don't have enough time to give to God or spend in quiet with Him.
The world can wait, God deserves that time. It is so important that you find that time every day.
Stopping and sitting in the peaceful silence with Him will prepare you for what the world holds. Everyday as Christians, we wake up like everyone else, we go to work or school or what ever your daily thing is, but we have to separate ourselves and stand above the ways of the world and show people that God lives in us. We have to share God with others. We cannot keep Him all to ourself. He is greater and more awesome than everything in this world. We cannot keep His great and mighty being all to our tiny human self. For one, it is impossible. Secondly, it isn't what He wants us to do. The ways of the world do not tell us to go out in search of God in our daily lives, but God does. And which is more important? God, of course! We have to listen for His voice above all of the other hustling and bustling of the busybodies spreading gossip and workaholics. No offense to anyone what so ever, but to seek God, all you've got to do is sit still and listen for Him. How ever it is He communicates with you, you will know. You will know when it is Him who is calling you. We have to ask Him to take full control, take the reins of our life so that we can work together with Him, by His lead to accomplish great things.
