This month, we are focusing on establishing devotional consistency. A sure way to ensure we remain on fire in our devotion is by having delight in the Lord. When your eyes are fixed on God, your walk with Him is motivated by desire, not obligation, leading to a naturally vibrant and consistent devotional life.

God desires that we delight in Him, that we seek His face not because we must, but because we want to. When we make God our delight, everything else will follow. Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33).

When our hearts are centred on God, we align ourselves with His will and purposes.

Revelation 4:4-8
New King James Version
4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.

5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.

7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”

The twenty-four elders around God’s throne worship continuously, day and night, without rest. Their worship is not out of mere duty but a reflection of their profound delight in God.

They cast their crowns before Him, proclaiming His holiness. This paints a picture of what it looks like to truly fix our gaze on God. God becomes the object of our deepest affection, and in that place, our devotion flows effortlessly.

However, it’s crucial to recognize that our hearts can easily drift away from delight in God. Without realizing it, we may allow other things to take His place—our phones, food, careers, money, or hobbies can subtly become idols in our lives. You may think these things are harmless, but if they distract you from God, they are pulling you away from where your heart should be.

God is calling us back to a place where He alone is our delight. We must recognize distractions, eliminate them, and choose to worship Him with undivided attention.

If your eyes are fixed on God, it will be difficult not to maintain a consistent devotional life. Your devotion will no longer be a struggle but a natural overflow of your love for Him.

The consistency of the twenty-four elders’ worship is anchored in their delight in God. Similarly, if you find yourself struggling to keep up your devotion, it may be because your delight in God has waned.

To rekindle that fire, you must shift your focus back to Him. Psalm 16:11 tells us, “In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

True joy is found only in God’s presence. Worship and devotion become a privilege, not a chore. Even when your routines or structures fail, delighting in the Lord will sustain you.

As you go about your day, make a conscious effort to bring your mind back to a place of delight in God. If you sense distractions creeping in, pause and refocus your heart on God. When your delight is in Him, devotion becomes a joy and not a duty.

Prayer Point
Father Lord, from today, my heart longs for You like never before. Let my devotion be a reflection of my delight in You and as I delight in You, let my devotional life become consistent, joyful, and passionate.
