undistracted devotion


Does your devotional relationship with Christ satisfy?
Are you filled with the Spirit from your head to the tips of your toes?
Is your joy made complete in Him at all times?
His praises constant and ever thankful? (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Meditate on this.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 God speaking to the Exiles
"For I know the plans that I have for you." declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity; to give you a future and a  hope. Then you will call upon Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek  Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart."

2 Corinthians
-Devote yourselves to prayer- so that Satan will not tempt you  because of lack of self-control.
7:23  -You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men, doing earthly things.
10:31   -Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do to the glory of God. (Colossians 3:17)
*The body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. No burning the church! (E. Tweten)
7:34   -One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how she may please the Lord. That she may be holy, both in body and spirit. Promote what is appropriate to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.

Pray this prayer: "Whatever happens now, then, never, near future, long run- I will still be me, who I am, Christ, You complete me, only You."

To find God, we must seek  Him with our whole heart. A half-hearted search is not sufficient. (Lady in Waiting, Kendal, Jones)

Psalm 51:10-12  Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thine presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation. And sustain me with a willing spirit.

To grow in our knowledge of God, we must seek Him. (Matthew 6:33)
And seek Him with a pure heart. (1 Timothy 1:5)
Seek His face!

Hebrews 11:6   Without faith it is impossible to please Him. He rewards those who seek Him.

As women of God, what else would we be doing with our time? Run to Him!
