Is there a cost to be fully committed? Yes.
Do I really have to pay a price for full commitment? Yes.
Okay, let's consider what full commitment costs. Being fully committed to truth, his earthly
father, the lessons he learned about God, and his dreams cost Joseph being sold
by his brothers into slavery .... imprisoned for something he never did ...
false accusations ... loneliness ... growing into manhood apart from his family
... and so much more. A costly price to
pay, right? Ultimately, truth and
justice prevailed, though not before Joseph paid the high cost for being fully
committed.
Today, what's the cost to us for full commitment? Loving one another as Jesus did. Making no excuses. Putting first things first, setting
priorities. Living a disciplined
lifestyle. Giving our best, nothing
less. Walking by faith and not by sight.
Trusting in the Lord with all our heart.
Praying without ceasing. And more
. . .
No matter the cost, make the choice to be fully committed to
the Lord your God in all things, at all times, in all ways, with all your heart
(see 1 Kings 8:61). Today, what price
will you pay?
