Commit Your Way

By



“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.” (Psalm 37:5, ESV)

This is an incredible statement of fact and promise.  When you get up in the morning, do you ever think to commit your day, your way, and even your life to the Lord?  The Bible tells us this is the thing to do!

Let’s take hold of this promise and actually see it work out in our lives.  This verse assures us that if we do commit our endeavors to God, trusting in him by an act of faith, he will act!  A sense of expectation for seeing the hand of God working in our lives will begin to permeate our days, bringing an excitement to all that we pursue.

When we experience times when God feels distant, it is on our side of the equation.  The problem is not with God, but with us.  We need to keep moving in his direction until our lives are brought into alignment with his will.  Remember, we are a part of a much bigger story, his story. 

Part of committing your way to God must involve daily studying God’s Word, in addition to soaking, sowing, and flowing with the Spirit of God.  Start committing your way to him each day.  Trust him to act in your circumstances!      

 
Heart Deposit: 
How often do you conscientiously commit your day to God?  How can you begin to put this principle into practice in your life every day?

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
