Today : Wholehearted Devotion
TODAY’S VERSE
“Acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you.” 1 Chronicles 28:9 (NIV)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Have you ever felt like the famous U2 song, “And I still haven’t found what I’m looking for”? Perhaps the song, “Looking for love in all the wrong places?” What are you looking for? What is it that your heart desires? What does your soul seek? If it is unconditional love; if it is a deep sense of fulfillment; if it living a life with significance and purpose; then come to God and you will find it. God is the source of everything that you will ever need and the good news is that today’s passage promises that if you seek for God with all your heart and soul, He will be found. It is when you acknowledge that He is the ruler of your life and you serve Him with your whole heart that you will be able to find Him ever near. Today, seek Him. Open your heart and ask God to reveal Himself to you. Come to Jesus, admit your need, accept His gift of salvation and you will find His love to be more than enough, more than you will ever need. You will find what your heart has been looking for.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, I admit how easy it is to take my eyes off of you. How easy to focus on temporal earthly matters and miss what really counts. You are what my heart has been searching for. You are all that I really need and I come now seeking you with my whole heart. Guide me, and lead me to a deeper understanding of your love and grace. In Jesus’ name.
AMEN
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
My deepest needs are met in knowing God
As you quiet yourself, focus on the uneasiness of your own heart. Sense the anxiousness and uneasy feeling you go around with. Visualize yourself putting these uneasy feelings into a bag. See God offering you peace, joy and a deep sense of purpose. He is offering it to you in trade for your anxiety and uneasiness. Come closer to God and trade your bag for His new coat of peace and purpose. Take it from God and put it on. As you do, feel the deep warmth as His peace invades your being. Feel God meeting your deepest needs. This is it. This is what you have been looking for. This is the right place. Say out loud, “My deepest needs are met in knowing God.”
