Happy New Year, NGEN Fam! We are SO ready to start 2018 right! Eating right, getting our finances right, hitting the gym (again or for the first time). While we're working out, trying to get our bodies right, we also want to take care of our souls. Last year, your NGEN Fit Fam blasted the sugar off, did yoga and Zumba at Discovery Green. This year, your NGEN Fit Fam is back! But first, we're focused on getting right with God. “Workouts in the gym are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever ...” – 1 Timothy 4:6-10 Listen to NGEN every day, follow us on Facebook, Insta and Twitter, and check here daily for devotionals, inspiration and motivation to get you closer to God and ready for what the New Year holds!

The one thing I ask of the Lord — the thing I seek most— is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord ’s perfections and meditating in his Temple. – Psalm 27:4, NLT

We live in a world that is consumed with ‘the next best thing.’ We love to wear the latest fashion, have the newest iPhone, and get the latest album (Got your copy of Youth Revival yet? Jokes.). Our attention is easily taken over by the many things around us like what’s going on at school, or in our relationships, or in our homes. We are a generation of ‘many things’. In contrast, the prayer of the Psalmist is about “one thing.” It is to dwell or to be in the house of the Lord for all of his days. For us today, this means following Jesus. The old Hymn “Turn your eyes upon Jesus” says “and the things of this world will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.” The truth is, the things of this world are only temporary and it’s only a matter of time until the next best thing comes out. But the wonderful thing about our God is that He is unchanging! He is constantly present in every season of our lives. Though there may be many distractions in this world, He will always be the ONE thing we can count on. Let’s decide today to make Jesus our focus, our sole devotion and the ONE that we always seek. Let’s become a generation whose sole desire and devotion would be to worship Jesus. Let’s become a generation of the ONE thing.
