God says to us “I remember the devotion of your youth…” (Jeremiah 2:2, NIV). How are you doing with that?

Do we remember the devotion we had as a new believer? How does it rate with our zeal for God today? Are we full of the little things that bless God, or are we fussing and complaining because we are not getting what we want from life? In the midst of the busyness or even troubles of the day, it is important that we consistently remind ourselves of those things that bless our Father and Lord. Acts of kindness, grace, love—putting others before ourselves.

Pause for a minute, right now. Ask the Father, “How’s my devotion for you been lately?” And if you need to make some changes, don’t wait for tomorrow to make them. Get right with God now.

Never lack in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor… Romans 12:11
