220px A W TozerYOUR DEVOTIONAL LIFE

Too many of us object, perhaps unconsciously, to the rather evident fact that the maintenance of the devotional mood is indispensable to success in the Christian life. And what is the devotional mood? It is nothing else than constant awareness of God's enfolding presence, the holding of inward conversations with Christ and private worship of God in spirit and in truth! To establish our hearts in the devotional mood we must abide in Christ, walk in the Spirit, pray without ceasing and meditate in the Word of God day and night. Of course this implies separation from the world and obedience to the will of God, as we are able to understand it. No matter how we may argue, true holiness and spiritual power are not qualities that can be once received and thereafter forgotten, as one might wind a clock or take a vitamin pill. Every advance in the spiritual life must be made against the determined resistance of the world, the flesh and the devil!

Verse

Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Ephesians 6:10

Thought

The maintenance of the devotional mood is indispensable to success in the Christian life.

Prayer

Lord, as stive today to grow in you, keep me focused on the goal. Help me to remember to keep a devotional mood.
