Committed

Wow what an Awesome Week. Don’t forget about November 6, 2009 our faith based night. Click here for more information. I look forward to seeing all of you this weekend.

Luke 14:28 (King James Version)

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

Commitment takes on responsibility and acts of unselfishness. Many times it can be hard to commit to something or someone if you have been hurt before. However, I want to encourage you that even though the commitments of the past ended in failure, you can begin again.

In the Book of Ruth, Naomi lost her husband and her two sons. All she had left was her daughter-in-laws. Naomi told both of them to go back to there families and she would return to Bethel. Bethel is a representation of commitment, a commitment to God, and to the house of God. Ruth was the only one that returned with Naomi.

So they went back to the place of commitment. It was difficult because Naomi had lost a husband and two sons, but she knew she had to come back to the place of commitment.

I want to leave you with three things that will allow you to commit again.

1. Forgive what has happened.
2. Know that greater is God in you, than the hurt in you.
3. Know what happened before was only a plan of the enemy to destroy your ability to commitment and fulfill the destiny God has placed in your life.
4. Commit again and allow God’s grace to navigate the commitment. He will protect your heart and your life.
   

Without commitment, we limit ourselves and are unable to fulfill the plan and purpose of God in our life.

God bless,

Pastor Mark
