Everyone has a multiplicity of loyalties. We are loyal to God, to country, to family, to church, to friends and to our employer. Under ideal circumstances these various loyalties are complimentary. Unfortunately, we do not live in an ideal world and events often conspire to bring our loyalties into conflict. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a hierarchy of loyalties to resolve these inevitable conflicts. The Scriptures teach that our highest loyalty belongs to God and God alone.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”

— Deuteronomy 6:5 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, I surrender myself to You—all that I have, all that I am, and all that I will ever be. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
