The writer was a Jew and a prisoner in
his own land. He had strayed from his
God’s teachings. But now he was asking
for God’s help in overcoming his enemies and saving his land. He wanted back in God’s graces.
This scenario resembles many aspects of
our country today. Many think we have
strayed from God and have lost our way.
There seems to be grumblings from every corner – from the PTA meetings
to the White House. Even the church
isn’t exempt from this.
However, the church is the perfect place
to begin to build a strong family unit.
A true commitment to Jesus will give us the peace we long for and the
strength to withstand the constant drain on our emotions. Here are a few things we can do to commit to
serve Him better.
A. Thank
God everyday for his blessings and pray His guidance in all that you do.
B. Make
every effort to be at church assemblies and activities. Remember that
wherever 2 or more are gathered, He is
there also.
C. Make
every effort to be actively involved in at least ONE area of the church. He wants you to use the talent given you (and
yes, you DO have one!)
D. Make
a conscience effort to understand the items that our government leaders are
promoting and vote for the best Christian leadership possible.
Commitment is what makes every endeavor
successful – it’s almost impossible without it!
Prayer:
Thank you for all the blessing you have
given us. Please give us the commitment
to show others the strength, power, and peace that following you can give
them. In Christ’s name we pray….Amen
