COMMIT TO GOD

In today's society, lasting commitment seems to be fast becoming nonexistent. Couples commit to each other through marriage but then divorce. People no longer really commit to jobs or careers because they fear being laid off or fired so they always search for better positions. Going to church is too much of a commitment to others - who wants to get up early on a Sunday morning??

God is always committed to us. And He expects commitment from us. The following verses show what God expects us to commit and trust to Him:

1. God expects us to commit Ourselves:

He trusts in the Lord; let the Lord rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him. Psalm 22:8.

2. God expects us to commit our Burdens to Him.

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22

3. God expects us to commit our Souls to Him.

So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good. 1 Peter 4:19

5. God expects us to commit our Cause to Him.

When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. 1 Peter 2:23
