There is a desire for God and a longing for fellowship with the Father that is part of a life devoted to God. Devout Christians are not dragged to the assemblies of the saints. They simply wouldn't be anywhere else. God's children are there, and they want to be with them. Devoted saints are constantly searching the Scriptures, for God can be found there. Prayer is not the exception, but the rule, for God is listening. 1 John 5:14-15 says, "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him."
King David loved God as is shown in the many Psalms which he wrote. He loved the people of God. He loved the word of God. He truly was a man after God's own heart. His joy was to meditate upon the things of God. God was the desire of his life.
How about you? Do you desire God? Is He more important to you than anything else? Do you love His law? Do you love the people who belong to Him? The answers to these questions will determine the level of your devotion to God.
Devotion to God is comprised of godly fear, a healthy recognition of God's boundless love, and an intense desire for God and those things that belong to Him. May God bless you, as well as me, as we seek to devote ourselves to Him every day of our life.
