Commit!

Psalm 37: 5
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this…
 
As I spoke in church yesterday, I indicated that in 1997, I committed my entire life to the work of the Lord.
Since then, God has taken me on some very interesting journeys.
 
I’ve met some, shall we say, very interesting people, and I’ve also learned some very valuable lessons.
I’ve watched God open some doors, that I never thought possible.
 
I think that’s what happens, when someone totally commits themselves to the work of the Lord.
God wants to be in charge, and rightfully so.
Every time I feel like I need to take the lead, things get all tangled up in a mess.
 
Did you know that there are  30 million people who play fantasy football each year?
And that’s what it is—it’s a fantasy—it’s make believe!
 
I wonder what might happen to the Kingdom of darkness, if those 30 million people committed their lives to the work of the Lord?
What if we became earnestly committed, to the work of our God?
 
“Lord God, thank You for allowing me to share in the work of Your Kingdom.
Thank you for allowing me to reach the world with Your truth, through that little Winneconne pulpit.
May the good news of Jesus, and the precious gift of Salvation be found, through the words You lay upon my heart.
Today, I recommit my life to You again, and I’d prefer not living in the realm, of make believe. Amen.”
