Are You Fully Committed?

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day is a gift to you and me, so let’s cherish it.

We can all claim commitment, but it is in our obedience that we see who is truly committed. Being fully committed pays off, whether in your career, school, or to God. Those who are committed are recommended. This week, we will focus on commitment, as we are living in times when people jump from one thing to another in a short span.

1 Kings 8:61 (NIV): “And may your hearts be fully committed to the LORD our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.”

It is non-negotiable that when we commit our hearts to God, we must do so fully. There’s no room for partiality, and some of us struggle because our hearts’ commitment to God is intertwined with other commitments, preventing us from fully committing to Him. Remember, He is a jealous God, and this is not a secret.

Takeaway: Are you living by the Holy Spirit, or are you treating the Holy Spirit like a policeman? He is only needed when there is trouble. Obedience will truly take you places; you can trust that.

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Gratitude Friday

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day is a gift to you and me, so let’s cherish it.

Another Friday to be grateful. The week is about to end, and here we are, preserved once again. I believe there might have been some ups and downs, but in the midst of that, we still say thank you, God. As today marks the second day of the fifth month, God has been faithful, and His grace has kept us.

Psalm 118:8 (ESV): “It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.”

“Ma’on” is a Hebrew word meaning “dwelling place” or “refuge.” Today we want to thank Him for being our refuge, a place where we can always run to or even dwell in. Remember that you need not put your trust in men; even in the darkest hour, remember to take refuge in the LORD.

Takeaway: Where is your dwelling place? Read Psalm 90:1 and meditate on it.

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!
