Living a Life Devoted to God

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.” — Matthew 6:33

Let’s be honest—we live busy lives! There are bills to pay, people to care for, jobs to do, errands to run, and about a thousand things fighting for our attention. Before we know it, the day is over, and we wonder,

​

“Where did the time go?”
But here’s the question for September: Where does God fit into your busy life?
Living a life devoted to God doesn’t mean you have to walk around all day with your Bible under your arm, humming worship songs while washing dishes! 😊 It means making God a priority in the everyday moments of life.

Devotion is about relationship, not routine.

It means talking to God when you’re happy, calling on Him when you’re frustrated, thanking Him when things go right, and trusting Him when things don’t make sense. It means inviting God into your decisions, your relationships, your dreams, and even your disappointments.

Sometimes we give God the leftovers—leftover time, leftover energy, leftover attention. But God deserves more than our leftovers. He wants our hearts.

This month let’s make a fresh commitment: Put God first! Before the phone, before social media, before the endless to-do list—pause and spend time with Him.

You may not get everything right every day, and that’s okay. God isn’t looking for perfection. He desires a heart that is willing to seek Him.

So, start each morning with a simple prayer: “Lord, this day belongs to You. Lead me, guide me, and help me live in a way that honors You.”

Then watch what happens when you make room for God.

A life devoted to God is not a boring life—it’s an adventure with Him!

This Month's Challenge
This month, give God your first moments instead of your leftovers. Seek Him, trust Him, and invite Him into every part of your day.
 

Prayer:
Lord, help me live a life that is truly devoted to You. Teach me to put You first, trust You more, and honor You in everything I do. Amen.
