Commitment 101

Chad Griffin
But what we are committing to and what is the end Goal and where does our relationship with Christ fit in? Jesus Christ wants us to be committed as well. He desires our commitment. I had to ask myself, when is the last time I said “Lord, I am committing this to you, I am committing everything to you.” I have been committed to my wife, kids, school, but what about our relationship with Christ? In Proverbs we read that if we commit our work to the Lord, our plans will succeed. That does NOT say WE WILL WIN, but we will be successful. When we choose Christ, we are guaranteed the ultimate victory with Him in the end.

Committing everything to the Lord, that is a tall task when we feel pressured from the outside world.  Christ doesn't just want the one and done in us, He asks for Everything. Everything we do, Everything we are, everything about us needs to be completely Committed to Christ.  You can look at it and say Wow! That might sound like a lot to ask, but it is the only way to be totally committed to Christ. Because when we Commit to Christ, everything else seems to fall into place and we are not alone. As a Coach, I know and understand the Commitment level that I demand from my players, but I am also learning that the Commitment Level that we give to Christ should be way more paramount.  The question is, How Committed are we to Christ? We know from his promise to us that he is %100 Committed to us!
