“For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.” -excerpt from Ezra 6:19-7:10

Have you ever seen someone fully devoted to something? I had the opportunity to officiate a wedding recently. For anyone who has ever been married. The whole week leading up to the wedding I found myself looking down at my own wedding bands, remembering their symbol of devotion and faithfulness in my own marriage these 6 years and counting. 

But of course, there are many other things that one can be devoted to: sports teams, hobbies, clothing brands, restaurants, and social causes. When we find something we are passionate about, it’s easy for us to become devoted to it.

It makes me wonder: What is God passionate about? What is God devoted to? And what does that mean for our faith as we follow in the Way of Jesus Christ?
