Commitment

For the eyes of the LORD

range throughout the earth

to strengthen those whose hearts

are fully committed to him.

2 Chronicles 16:9

God is not looking for people

with perfect performance records,

who never make mistakes.

Instead, He is looking for those

who are fully committed to Him.

There is a temptation

to simply dabble in the things of God.

We play at discipleship

as if it were just a game or hobby,

and wonder why we never

experience the power and blessings

the Bible promises those who follow Christ.

Commitment on our part is paramount.

With it, nothing can stop us...

without it, we'll never accomplish anything.

W.H. Murray, put it this way:

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,

the chance to draw back...

The moment one definitely commits oneself,

then providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one

that would never otherwise have occurred.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision,

raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents

and meetings and material assistance,

which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

God is on the lookout for you today!

He is longing to be good to those

who are whole-heartedly seeking Him.

Keep your heart turned toward Him

and allow Him to empower you to rise

above every obstacle and live in victory

in every area of life!

Have a blessed & powerful day!
