Deuteronomy 10:12 ESV
And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

One of the serious problems facing the world at large today is that of commitment which no longer seems to be part of our society, even believers, while their lips give service to God according to Isaiah 29:13, many are not truly committed to Him.
Commitment is the act of taking charge of something and seeing it through, the act of keeping a thing, or trust without wavering. Life is all about commitment; we commit in all kinds of ways, we are committed to personal, to financial institutions, to matrimony, we are committed to our families, and we must commit to God, spiritual commitment.
God requires total commitment from us, notwithstanding, God does not demand of us more than we can give but to do what is good is what is required of us according to Micah 6:8. Commitment isn’t for a while, as we feel, not sometimes but continuous and consistent, totally involved.
Every life’s achievement requires commitment-whether good or bad, even the scriptures encourage us to commit to the Lord in Psalm 37:5. Commitment involves making the decision to focus on something or someone.
The Christian walk and life should be one with an understanding of and learning to commit our hearts, minds, and bodies to the things of the spirit which is central to a successful life.
Commit everything you do to God as stated in psalm 37:5.
Jesus said to His disciples in Luke 14:26-28 that they couldn’t be his disciples if they do not carry their own cross and follow him- that’s the same for us all, we all must pick up, carry and keep carrying it in commitment for us to qualify as his disciples.
Staying the course of a thing is a must for commitment. How long can you wait for something worthwhile?
Are you committed to holding out and holding on to the important things in life?
Luke 2:25-35 tells us that Simon waited for the Messiah, and though we weren’t told how long he waited, he was committed to seeing the manifestation of the prophecy given to him.
In Luke 2:36-38, we meet Anna, an old prophetess who was totally committed to seeing the Christ, that she spent her days fasting and praying daily in the temple.
We are all guilty of going through the motion of worshipping God routinely as declared in Isaiah 29:13, without committing our “whole being” as the Lord wants us to which is unacceptable to the Lord.
There is a great need for commitment in every part of life, especially in our faith. If we will commit our lives and trust to Christ, we can have great things.
God requires us to be obedient, not an accomplishment.
True commitment will result in obedience. If we cannot commit to God in our general daily lives and things to honour and glorify Him, how do we commit our souls to His eternal keeping?
As Psalm 37:5 says, we must commit our ways, our plans and everything to God, a commitment that requires faith and trust that we see our desires come to pass.
Salvation is free, but it takes total, painful, and determined commitment to working it out according to 1 Peter 4:19.
You can’t ask too much of God!! You simply need to get committed to him.
Shalom
