Devotion:
Read Luke 11:1-4.
The disciples seek to learn how to pray. Learning is what a disciple seeks to constantly do. To continue to learn is to be diligent in seeking knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Hebrews 11:6 says, “He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Diligent means to be relentless. Don’t be satisfied with the status quo of knowing Jesus and what that means to your life but to pursue Jesus himself.
Max Lucado reminds us that there is no greater gift than to be like Jesus. Jesus had no bad habits; God wants to remove yours. Jesus had no fear of death; God wants you to be fearless. Jesus had kindness for the hurting and mercy for the rebellious and courage for the challenges. God wants you to have the same.
He loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus. Embrace the quest of a relationship with Jesus with your whole heart.
Personal Worship Option:
Spend some time reflecting on your spiritual life. In what ways are you diligently seeking after God?
