Having a Daily Devotion with God Every Day

Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you (Matt 6:33).

The Definition of a Daily Devotion

“Our relationship with God is meant to be a love affair”

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water (Psalm 63:1)

4 Reasons to have a Daily Devotion:

►Express our love for God

We spell love = time

►Hear from God

“When the Bible speaks. God speaks”

►Talk to God (Prayer)

→ Telling God you love Him

→ Telling God you need Him

→ Telling God your struggles and needs

►Power to face the day

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

The challenges of a daily devotion

►Fighting the flesh

And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed (Mark 1:35). “God the best–‘not the rest’”
