COMMIT THY WAY UNTO THE LORD

Scripture:  Psalm 37:5 “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”

    Seems that folks have such a hard time today, being able to make a commitment. They’re just not willing to commit to anything.  The psalmist here tells us that we should commit our way unto the Lord.  Some will think, why should I make a commitment? Well here’s a few reasons I think of you consider will help you to see how much you need to be committed.  
    First of all, we need to commit our way to Him, because Jesus gave His all for us. The Bible tells us that He left the Ivory palaces of glory for us.  While we were yet sinners, He laid down His life for us on Calvary.  We’re told that He so loved us, meaning that He loved us enough to do something that would help us now and for all eternity.  Oh what a price He paid!  
    Then we should commit our way to Him because we owed a debt that we could not pay. Our sin debt was so great that we could never be able to pay, but Jesus paid it all, with His blood, on the cross. He took our place!  There on Calvary, He purchased eternal life for you and for me.  Because of our sins, we deserved death, but through His blood, He paid the price that we could not pay, and set us free! Hallelujah!  
    Then also the Bible tells us that to make a commitment to the Lord is our reasonable service.  Because of what He has done for us, we need to present our bodies to Him as a living sacrifice.  Friend, we are not our own.  We are bought with a price.  We must not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by His mighty power.  It is reasonable for us to yield to Him all that we are or ever shall be.  Oh, what a Savior!
