#592 Deeper Christian Life – Full Commitment to God

Good Day Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In addition to constant communion with our Lord, a deeper life with Christ requires a full commitment to trusting and obeying Him.  Throughout Scripture we find God’s people showing that type of commitment regardless of their circumstances.  In times of personal danger, they would declare their trust in God; in times of persecution they would take a stand for God, never backing down or denying Him; and in times of joy and praise, they would give God all the glory.  In the Old Testament David, fleeing from the persecution of Saul, did not place his trust in his human good judgment but placed his trust in the Lord for wisdom, protection, and guidance.   Scripture says that even the men with him looked to God for enlightenment and comfort, and they were not “ashamed” of doing so.  That is the full commitment to God we need to have a deeper Christian life.

Where do you have your trust?  In your own self or in God?

“I sought the LORD, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears.  Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces will never be ashamed.”   (Psalm 34:4-5 – HCSB)
