FAITH CAPSULE: Obedient to the word of God commits to God.
Genesis 19
Day after day, week after weeks, month after month, and year after year is a journey.
The journey demands walking with God.
God gives every moment to be alive to walk with God, walking before Him.
Commitment to the word of God is giving self to walk before God without ceasing.
A commitment to the living word of God is the unfailing route in the journey of life.
A believer without commitment to the word of God is a religion with no relationship with God.
Does that sound like you?
Are you truthful to yourself, living by the word of God, walking with God?
Are you deceiving with demonstration walking with God but walking away from God?
One with a commitment to the word of God is with an understanding of seeking God diligently, walking with God.
One that seeks God diligently walks, sits, and stands in the word of God, the evidence of commitment to God and to become blessed by God.
Psalm 1:1-2 confirms: “Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law, he meditates day and night.”
As an acclaimed believer of God, let your commitment be rooted in God, not seeking the counsel of the ungodly.
Failure can be the lack of commitment to God in His word.
Giving self to self-convince in the place of commitment to God will not arrive at the promise of God.
Commitment is not convenient, but it is self-sacrifice before God.
One that compromises the word of God is with no commitment.
Discipline works with commitment but doubting will deny not to be committed.
With doubt, fear will relegate faith.
One with a lack of commitment to the word of God is not mindful of God.
Lack of commitment to the word of God will lead to confusion in the journey of life.
Lack of commitment to God is looking away from God.
The word of God directed Lot and his wife for deliverance from destruction, “…Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” (Genesis 19:17)
Lot was committed to the word of God, but his wife could not commit to the word of God for her deliverance from destruction.
The Bible records the consequence for the wife of Lot, “But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” (Genesis 19:26)
Are you sincerely committed to the word of God?
In the journey of life, be committed to God and remain connected to the promise of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God to take charge of the life He has given you.
