1 Corinthians 7:35 (New International Version)
35I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

Devotion: earnest attachment to a cause, person, etc. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/devotion)

Devotion this year AGC wants to challenge you guys to give your untire devotion to God. Serving Him in anyway, Putting Him first, and of course doing His will....or in other words worship Him and getting the best relationship with our God.

Most time we get to caught up into the world as in video games. Sometimes im playing videogames and i'll be like "uhh i dont want to do devos i want to keep playing" But its God will and strength that give me power to shut down the game and come and type this. God uses all types of things to protect us.

When you are about to sin sometimes God uses someone to come in your room and go "hey, come downstair and spend some time with the family" Your choice to stay in your room and sin or leave. These little things we never notice in our lives. Its after we sin where our eyes are open "Lord, you were trying to stop me but i failed...."

Then you feel all down im the worse person on earth. But thats not true God loves us so much to send His son for us. (Man we use that so much in our devos) even though we fail Him we can always get back on our feet and say srry and then give Him our devotion again.

I also have a hard time giving devotion i go to a school; morning class devotional
2nd period Bible lesson, 4th period Bible reading. Only my class because my teacher really cares about our Bible knowlege it really helps.

See with all that when i get home i dont really feel like reading my Bible and doing devos. But becuase of my devotion God gives me strength to do all this.

Even hard times i encourage you to give devotion to God. Miracles can happen in seconds right when you say Lord you have me back again i offer devotion Jesus name i pray amen. Then a miracle happens. Or sometimes God makes you wait to see if you offer devotion, but sometimes God still saves us and ask us for devotion.

That doesnt mean we dont give Him our devotion. If you are a real christian and see God love you will right away offer devotion. Today take some time off and look at what God has done in all of our lives. Or your life!

Challenge:
This year even though you are going through trouble times or you just sin, pray sorry or help me Lord and i will always give you my devotion!
