Have you ever pulled up to a stoplight and the radio in the car next to you is blaring rap music so loud that your heart takes on the beat of the music, and when you look, everyone in the car is singing and "dancing" along? All you think is "Wow That's way too loud " But, our author asks you: Why aren't you the person at the light with your Gospel/Praise music up so loud that the people in the cars next to you feel your music affecting their hearts? "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabach thani?" that is to say, My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46 God had turned his face from Christ, and still, with all the powers He possessed, He stayed on the cross out of devotion to His Father. Matthew 27: 50 then tells us: Jesus, when he had cried out again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Near death, when there should have been no breath left in Him, Christ made His devotion heard. Who can "hear" your devotion? Our author has explored 20 years of her own service to God, and developed the study Practicing Devotion, which helps us examine and define our own relationships with God.
