When someone has rescued your life, given you every good thing, stayed with you through the most trying and difficult times, called you a friend, and promised never to leave you, WHAT is the most reasonable reaction we could have: Devotion.

Devotion is a deep and unwavering commitment to God,

characterized by love, dedication, and loyalty.

It involves prioritizing God above all else and aligning one’s will with His.

Devotion is not merely a religious duty but a passionate pursuit of intimacy with God.

Resting Our Minds

Setting our minds “on things above”

Colossians 3:1–8 “1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.”
