Devotion for Sunday, December 29, 2019
“Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do
away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord,
and the Lord is for the body. Now God
has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power” (1
Corinthians 6:13-14).
Get your priorities
straight. We live in a time that accentuates
the physical pleasures, and living for what feels good. This is not helpful; it is destructive. When you do not have the right priorities,
you wander and stray. The Lord comes and
asks you to follow Him, and you will need your full attention to be on
Him. Come then and learn to not be
distracted by this world.
Lord, help me to clear my mind that I may see the many ways I am attracted
to those things which grab my attention.
Lead me to learn to meditate and ponder on the greater things. Guide me in Your goodness to know that in You
is all hope. May I learn to listen as
You speak, go where you send me, and do what You would have me do. Lead me in the way of salvation.
Lord Jesus, You alone are the
Savior. In You alone is there hope. You have modeled the godly life and called
for me to follow You. Lead me in the way
I should go that I may now and always abide in Your teaching. Grant that I would be an example of godly
living, practicing what You give me to do so that others may know that I am
Yours. Lead me, Lord, wherever You know
I need to go. Amen.
