Higher level? With some people commitment is very difficult. The more they commit to, the surer they are that, in the end, they will be the ones who get burned. They run from obligations and hide from responsibilities. Simply, they never put themselves in the way of difficult promises since they are more worried about failure than they are concerned with success. This may be the safer course, but it is not the best one.
Think about it. Sometimes there are times when we must commit, even when the promise is a difficult one. With most promises, it isn’t a matter of ability that determines if they are kept; it most often depends upon the will and not talent.
God’s Word tells us: Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you” (John 13:37-38).”
When you and I make commitments that affect others, it is important to remember that each promise that we make pushes us to a higher level of Christian commitment and spiritual growth. Pride has nothing to do with it. It’s all about the will.
. “I pray today in Jesus name that we never take our promises lightly, remembering that when we do make one, we ought do our best to keep it. Our word is precious. Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
