Are You Serious?

Psalms 37:5
Commit thy way unto the Lord;
trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Proverbs 16:3
Commit thy works unto the Lord,
and thy thoughts shall be established.

What is commitment? It is the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, someone, etc... This is a word that is rarely used today. The level of true commitment is drained under the disguise of pleasure. We are spoon fed a philosophy of "do what makes you happy" or "you need to make yourself happy first". I don't know about you, but I don't enjoy everything that I have to do, or should I say need to do. Let me show you some examples.

I hate, yes hate, having to eat right. I would love to drown a biscuit in some gravy. Wrap my hands around a double bacon cheeseburger. I hate having to eat salads and stay away from taters. I hate paying to have an oil change in our vehicles. Believe this or not, but some days I don't like to work. There it is, I said it! But do you know what I like? I love stepping on the scales and seeing my weight come down. I love getting in my vehicle and knowing that it will probably get me to my destination. I absolutely love getting a paycheck and purchasing things I need... and a few things I desire.

A coach once told me that sometimes you have to do the things you don't want to in order to be dedicated or committed. Are you spending your life as a Christian waiting on the Lord to take you home but yet your commitment to Him is no where to be found? Many want Heaven without repentance or a walk dedicated to Jesus. Are you serious? What if the Lord took the same interest in commitment toward you that you have toward Him? Where would that leave you?

Something to SERIOUSLY think about...
