Commitment to God. Committing to anything is 38 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 3: difficult because commitment requires constant work. To commit to something 39 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: means to pledge yourself to it. It means you will 40 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 3: uphold your loyalty and devotion regardless of unforeseen circumstances, unpleasant situations, 41 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 3: or human temptations. A commitment is not a feeling or 42 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: an ideology. It is a conscious choice and one that 43 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 3: needs to be made continuously in order to triumph in 44 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: your dedication. To be successful at something means to accomplish 45 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: an aim or purpose. Therefore, you need success to achieve productivity. 46 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: The Bible teaches that success comes from committing your projects 47 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: unto God. To commit something to God means to dedicate 48 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: it to him. To dedicate something to God means that 49 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: it will be centered and focused on Him. And when 50 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 3: your plans are centered and focused on God, your actions 51 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 3: will align with God's commandments. When your actions align with 52 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: God's commandments, you will have God's blessing, and with God's blessing, 53 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 3: you will achieve success. Sometimes we forget this and forget 54 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 3: to put God first. Sometimes we make a conscious choice 55 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 3: to leave God out. Sometimes our hearts are overtaken by 56 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: rebellious thoughts, and our sinful desires prevent us from even 57 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 3: thinking of God. Regardless of your current state, this is 58 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: your opportunity to rectify your situation. You have an opportunity 59 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: in this moment to turn to Christ and con fifess 60 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 3: your sins to him. Ask the Holy Spirit to help 61 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 3: you remove anything keeping you from committing to God. Take 62 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 3: just a few minutes to dwell on the blessings of God. 63 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: Thank the Lord for his unending mercies and for his 64 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: benevolent grace.
