Total Devotion
Until the day you expireor at least until some far-off future point when you misplace all your mental marblesyoull remember the date 9-11-2001. Deeply scratched in the memories of you and your every peer is the day nineteen hijackersdriven by a wickedly twisted dedicationkilled thousands.
Dont mistake what the terrorists did for total devotion . A way better name for it is full-blown deviation . The terrorists aimed to show the world why their cause was worth murdering and dying for. But they couldnt have made clearer to us why Christ is worth living for.
Read Romans 12:1
What kind of commitment does Jesus want from you?
The 9/11 terrorists lived out such a warped style of commitment that you can just look at what they did, then do the exact opposite:
- You arent trying to earn heaven as a suicide killer. God offers you eternal life as a free gift.
- You arent aflame with viciousness. Your commitment to Jesus overwhelms you with compassion.
- You dont slog for a faraway, foreboding God. You lovingly serve the Savior who walked in your shoes and died in your place.
- You dont unleash death on the innocent. You usher the guilty into life.
Total devotion isnt a one-shot suicide mission. Its an attitude you can adopt this instant and apply moment by moment. Its a joy-jazzed offering of your whole self to God. Its clinging tight to the Lord of the universe and letting him reign over every square inch of your life.
And when you consider what Jesus has done for yougiving you breath, eternal life, and everything in betweenyou know in your heart he deserves nothing less.
Youre no dead fool. Youre a living sacrifice. Thats total devotion.
Dear Christian friends, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrificethe kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask? ROMANS 12:1 NLT
| TOTAL DEVOTION | DAY 2 |
If You Snooze You Lose
Just as Keri slapped the snooze button on her alarm clock for the third time, her mom knocked on her bedroom door and hollered to see if she was awake. Its eight oclock, Keri. We leave for church in half an hour.
By the time Keri dragged herself into the kitchen, she was primed to whine. Why do we have to do this? Cant we take a few Sundays off? You and Dad should go by yourselves. You like it. Keri thought Sunday school was okay. She just chatted with her friends while the teacher droned on. But a second hour in a church service made her bonkers. Keris parents werent amused by her organ imitationmoaning like a cow in laborand Keri couldnt figure out why the pastor got so worked up about everything.
One of these days , she told herself, Im staying home. And Im not going back .
Read Colossians 1:10
Why would anyone want to please God in every way?
Before we decide to trust God, we figure that knowing, following, and enjoying God ranks in value right up there with a stash of Happy Meal toys lost in a backyard sandbox. So instead of recognizing God as King of the universe, we rule our own lives. Were Gods enemies, rebels against him.
You probably know the facts on how God figured out a way to bring us back to himself. Though we deserve to die for our sins (Romans 6:23), Christ suffered our punishment for us. He died on the cross in our place so we can be forgiven (Colossians 1:2123).
Once youre sure of those facts, you have a colossal reason to choose total devotion to Jesus. Youve admitted, Ive been wrong, God. I thought you werent worth it. I disobeyed you. I accept the gift of forgiveness and life you offer through Christ . Youve become Gods friend. Now you can choose daily to follow God because you realize the infinite value of being tight with him. Hes rescued you and brought you into his kingdom of love. And hes worth every bit of your life.
