As we settle in to the first few weeks of 2013, perhaps we have made some new resolutions, goals, or plans for the new year?
But how serious and devoted are we to these intentions?
There was a missionary working in Africa, a group of friends wrote him: "We would like to send other men to you. Have you found a good road into your area yet?" The missionary sent this message in reply: "If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all."
There's a big difference between just being interested in doing something and actually making a commitment to doing it! Just being interested allows us the freedom do a thing only when our circumstances permit. But making a commitment to do that thing means accepting no excuses and no reservations - it means putting aside our fears and reservations, moving forward until we see the end result!
With 2013 under way, let's make some commitments!
Our Lord, our families, our friends, our jobs and our congregations are awaiting us!
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him;
and He shall bring it to pass.
Psalm 37:5
