We all devote ourselves to someone or something. That means putting everything that you have into that person or passion. The question that we have to ask ourselves is, are we actually doing that? We can claim that and be totally oblivious to the fact that we are doing the total opposite. God requires our devotion to Him, and yet we are not willing to give Him everything. He wants our family, friends, finances, and our free will.
When we put Him first, He is able to be glorified in our other relationships. We have gotten so off-track, because we have devoted ourselves to things (video games, television, fame, etc.) that are not worth it. I am an offender and so are many others. We have lost our focus on what God has blessed us with, because they are there waiting to be loved and cared for. If we desire to restore the relationship with God; all we have to do is turn around and run back to His arms that are open and waiting to receive us unto Himself again. We cannot ignore what God has created us to do. We also cannot ignore what God has blessed us with.
So for those of us that have forgotten where our devotion lies, let us redirect our focus back to the One that saved us. Once we have directed our devotion back toward God; He will work to restore us.
