This is the twelfth of 21 posts serving as a devotional and prayer guide building up to the launch of creativecommunity.tv on Saturday November 6th.
We all want our lives to matter, and we want to live lives of significance. The best way to achieve this is to devote yourself to something significant.
It’s surprising to find out how many people devote their lives to trivial things. There are stores that sell stuff animals and also offer expensive clothes, shoes, jewelry, cell phones, and sports equipment, for the stuff animal! It’s possible to spend hundreds of dollars on one stuff animal and a few outfits and accessories.
Ever see an old, rusted out, and barely running car with a a $2000 stereo system and $3000 rims and tires? How about third graders who already own ipads, iphones, and have LED televisions in their rooms?
We may not go to those extremes, but we have a bigger problem: we devote ourselves to insignificant causes. We’re busy arguing scripture, debating the book of Revelations, and dissecting the great commandment to notice that we’re becoming insignificant to those in need.
The church in Acts 2 was a significant church made up of significant people. In verse 42 we’re told that, “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
God’s will is that you too would live a life of significance. Significance is achieved when we devote ourselves to His word and take time to fellowship and break bread with others.
Read Acts 2: 42-47
