Bible Bites
Preface
Quite often we associate the term 'devotional' with warm fuzzy
thoughts; pleasant little nothings which give us a short-lived buzz
that we soon forget as we go through our normal routines. However,
true devotion is radically different from this idea. The word
'devote' literally means to give entirely and completely. It is
rooted in the concept of a vow. In the Bible, to devote something to
God means to give it entirely to Him. The aim of these devotionals,
or 'devos', is to challenge you to do just that. Are you devoting
your studies, your friendships, and your family time&ldots; whatever,
to God every day?
The thoughts and challenges herein flow from the pages of Scripture
through the life of my friend and colleague, Keith Foster. He
practices what he preaches. It is not the author's intent to make us
complacent with pleasant platitudes, but to challenge all of us to
become fully devoted to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is my privilege to
commend these 'devos' to you.
