Devotion
Two-Minute Thoughts by Eric
What lengths have you gone to in order to try and be someone else? When I was a kid, I wanted to be just like MacGyver. I had
the white Nike high-tops with the tongue flipped out in front of my jeans, a Swiss Army knife, a love for Jeeps and science, and a
mullet. Now that's devotion! Given the resources of a 12-year-old, I was about as “MacGyver” as I could be. As an adult, I look
back a chuckle when I think about that. But as an adult, I sometimes ask myself, “Who do I want to be and how can I get there?”
Do we yearn to have plastic surgery to “freshen up” our appearance (to be someone we used to be...), weight lift for hours a day
in order to look like The Rock (to be someone we can't be...), or spend an exuberant amount of time and money to dress and
look like Britney Spears (well, maybe not a good example right now...). All of these things require a good amount of devotion in
order to accomplish that goal. Just imagine if we applied that same devotion - that time, effort, commitment, and energy - in
order to impel God’s kingdom and simply be happy with who we were created to be in the first place?
Don’t get me wrong: it’s important to be healthy and strong. But too many people have aspirations for things of this world and
spend too little time focusing on eternity. What if we modeled our lives after the one man who walked a sinless life? What if we
made His ministry as important to us as it was to Him? Answer: Our superficial worldly aspirations would simply disappear. Our
80 (plus or minus) years on this earth is NOTHING but a pinprick on the time line of eternity. We would simply look back at our
“old life” and chuckle at how silly we were.
So, are you devoted to your 80 years or eternity?

Update
Okay, so I've caused some confusion. I won't be stopping
nails anytime very soon. In fact, it will probably be at least
another year before I consider it. What I meant by my
previous post is that I am refining my process to include the
most difficult piece of this ministry exclusively - the pre-bent
nails.
I am going to continue helping those of you who either have
difficulty bending the nails because of the physical demands
or because you have been so successful in your ministries
that you simply don't have the time to bend nails.
I hope this clears things up. You'll see more devotions soon
enough, as well. In fact, I'm starting a blog where I am
essentially doing an online life journal based on scriptures
that I read. I'll be updating that as time permits, but at least
weekly.
