If you’re not delighting, committing,
and trusting in the Lord, you’re missing out on most of the great things He has
for you.

Awakening, Day 7
There are very few who in their hearts
do not believe in God, but what they will not do is give Him exclusive right of
way. They are not ready to promise full allegiance to God alone.
—D. L. Moody
I feel that, if I could live a
thousand lives, I would like to live them all for Christ, and even then, I
would feel that they were all too little a return for His great love to me.
—C. H. Spurgeon
Take
delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit
your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your
righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Psalm
37:4–6 NIV
If you want an abundant life, to be
successful in every endeavor, and to live a noble life full of joy, you must
follow the directives of Psalm 37:4–6. Delight in the Lord, commit your way to
the Lord, and trust in Him. To delight in the Lord is to love Him with all your
heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30). That’s loving Him first with
everything that you are, not just some, not just part—but everything.
Committing your way to Him is seeking Him first in every choice and decision of
your life and following His every leading. Trusting in Him is an assured
certainty that He is Lord over all and nothing is impossible with Him.
Jesus doesn’t want just a part of
you, He wants all of you, totally committed and dedicated to Him. If you give
Christ your all, great will be your reward and benefits. Christ gave His all
for you, so what is His life worth?
