Psalm 63:1 (NIV)
1 You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
Some Christians have learned little of a daily devotional
life. Some time ago a policeman asked me what the secret of victorious living
was. I told him that there is no magic formula that can be pronounced. If any
word could describe it, I would say surrender. The second word I would say
would be devotion. Nothing can take the place of a daily devotional life with
Christ. Your quiet time, your prayer time, the time you spend in the Word, is
absolutely essential for a happy Christian life. You cannot possibly be a
happy, dynamic, and powerful Christian apart from a daily walk with Christ.
Christ is calling Christians today to cleansing, to dedication, to
consecration, and to full surrender. It will make the difference between
success and failure in your spiritual life. It will make the difference between
being helped and helping others. It will make a difference in your habits, in
your prayer life, in your Bible reading, in your giving, in your testimony, and
in your church membership. This is the Christian hour of decision!
Thought for today:
Am I fully devoted to what I say I believe?
