Devotion for Sunday, January 6, 2019

“Thus they exchanged their glory for the image of an ox that eats grass. They forgot God their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,wonders in the land of Ham and awesome things by the Red Sea.” (Psalm 106:20-22)

The world calls for us to worship the creation. Even the modern man worships his environment, surroundings and his circumstances. This call keeps us from coming into the truth that God is the Sovereign Creator of all things. He has done great things for all and only in Him will life be understood for the gift from Him that it is. Come into the Lord’s presence as the center of all life.

Lord, I do become comfortable in my circumstances and do not even think about You being behind the existence of all things. Help me, I pray, to come to a place where my mind is clear that I may forever hold fast to the truth that You are God and above all things which You have created. Help me today to see the wonder of Your hand in this creation that I may learn to praise You above all things.

Lord Jesus, You were clear in Your instruction to place the Father at the center in our lives. There are many temptations that come along to distract us from the truth, so help me walk through these valleys of distraction to see clearly the call You have placed upon my life. Lead me, O Lord, that I may walk the path of salvation that You have placed before me now and forever. Amen.
