Day 14 – Make a Full-Fledged Commitment to Read God’s Word

Day 14 – Make a Full-Fledged Commitment to Read God’s Word

Good morning!

Yippee!  Today, you’ve completed TWO full weeks of the 21 Day Bible Reading Challenge!  (JUMP on board at ANY time, we’d love to you have JOIN in)

We discussed earlier in this series how Satan sabotages our efforts.  We know we’re in a real battle against our enemy.  He will ALWAYS set out obstacles to get us to stumble off the right path. (Review Day 9 – How to Conquer Sabotage by Satan)

But, there’s another underlying PROBLEM that may be lurking behind the scenes that causes us to FAIL in READING our Bible…

Lack of “Commitment” to the work to be done.

Commitment means pledging to do something, to obligate yourself.  Many people desire to READ their Bible, pray more, and serve the Lord more, but those attempts seem to fizzle out.

Sometimes, the underlying culprit is that they haven’t made a FULL-FLEDGED commitment to the TASKS or WORK that they need to do.

Think of something that you fully committed to doing, and it HAD to be done NO MATTER what.  In other words, you’d literally work yourself to the grave trying to make sure it was completed…your name was on the line, and you had to see that it got done!

That’s REAL commitment!

Commitment means diving ALL in… there’s no in between.

Today, I’m not only urging you once again to commit your life to the Lord.  (Review Day 1 – Do Not Fear to Commit Your Life to God), but also to take a closer LOOK at the WORK you need to do to draw closer to God and for God… make those TASKS a commitment!

There’s JOY in serving the Lord Jesus! Don’t miss out because of your lack of commitment to the cause of Christ!
