TOTAL COMMITTMENT

“COMMIT EVERYTHING YOU DO TO THE LORD. TRUST HIM AND HE WILL HELP YOU.” PS. 37:5

Following Jesus is a continuous learning experience. We are to “sell out” to Jesus in everything we do and speak. I know from personal experience that this is easier said than done. As we walk through each day, we are surrounded with all the things of the world. We are surrounded with all of the worldly attitudes, thoughts and actions. It is nearly impossible to get away from the world when you live in it. Everywhere you turn, the world and its ways are there. It is so easy to get caught up in all of waves of concern, fear and anger being displayed by those of the world. Yet, we are supposed to commit everything we do and say to the Lord our God. We are to shun the ways of the world and have focus on Jesus and do as he instructs us to do. If we have not taught ourselves and disciplined ourselves to do this, then it sometimes becomes discouraging. Before we can commit our ways unto the Lord, we must first be able to trust him. We must know his promises. We must trust in his promises. We must believe that he is faithful in all that he does and speaks. We must believe that he never has failed and never will fail on any promise he has given to us. The more we surround ourselves with his word the more we will believe. The more we believe the more we will trust. Once we have complete trust in our God then we will be able to commit each day, each thought, each action and each problem to him. We must discipline ourselves to be silent before him and listen. We must discipline ourselves to patient before him. We must make him our total life. He must be the way we live in this world. With our Lord in the lead, he guarantees us success and peace. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
