Commitment to God. Committing to anything 40 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 3: is difficult because commitment requires constant work. To commit to 41 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: something means to pledge yourself to it. It means you 42 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: will uphold your loyalty and devotion regardless of unforeseen circumstances, 43 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 3: unpleasant situations, or human temptations. A commitment is not a 44 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: feeling or an ideology. It is a conscious choice and 45 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: one that needs to be made continuously in order to 46 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: triumph in your dedication. To be successful at something means 47 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: to accomplish an aim or purpose. Therefore, you need success 48 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: to achieve productivity. The Bible teaches that success comes from 49 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: committing your projects unto God. To commit something to God 50 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: means to dedicate it to him. To dedicate something to 51 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 3: God means that it will be centered and focused on Him. 52 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: And when your plans are centered and focused on God, 53 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: your actions will align with God's commandments. When your actions 54 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: align with God's commandments, you will have God's blessing, and 55 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: with God's blessing, you will achieve success. Sometimes we forget 56 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: this and forget to put God first. Sometimes we make 57 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: a conscious choice to leave God out. Sometimes our hearts 58 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 3: are overtaken by rebellious thoughts and our sinful desires prevent 59 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 3: us from even thinking of God. Regardless of your current state, 60 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: this is your opportunity to rectify your situation. You have 61 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 3: an opportunity in this moment to turn to Christ and 62 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: can fess your sins to him. Ask the Holy Spirit 63 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: to help you remove anything keeping you from committing to God. 64 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: Take just a few minutes to dwell on the blessings 65 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 3: of God.
