Commit

 April 6, 2024

Psalm 37:3-5

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; 

Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 

Delight yourself also in the Lord, 

And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 

Commit your way to the Lord, 

Trust also in Him, 

And He shall bring it to pass.”

“Trust, Dwell, Feed, Delight.” Four commands in two verses. They build on one another, each command taking us deeper into our relationship with God. Now we come to the climax of it all: “Commit.” Sooner or later in our journey with God, we end up here. It’s show time, and we must decide whether or not we’re going to commit. Trusting God, living in the land of his promises, feeding on his blessings—we love it so far, but when it comes to commitment, we balk. 

But commitment is the heart of it all. It’s what God is after; not fans, not admirers, not even believers. He is looking for people willing to commit everything into his hands, no matter what. Our taking that final step is how God brings to pass all the good he has planned for us. So…commit. Your way. To him.
