I have now concentrated all my prayers into one, and that one prayer is this, that I may die to self, and live wholly to him. –Spurgeon
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Psalm 37:4-6
Being committed to something or someone takes time, effort, and most of all love. Think about this for a minute; how much time has the Lord invested in you?—“before the foundation of the world” How much effort has the Lord invested in you?—“he gave his only begotten Son” How much love has He given you?— In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9
If He has done all of this for you and I, shouldn’t we be committed to what He has commanded us to? Shouldn’t we be committed to what He has called us to? Shouldn’t we be committed to what He commissioned us to? Shouldn’t we remain committed???
