The power of God's presence in your plans
We often treat commitment like a heavy burden or a contract we are forced to sign, fearing that staying the course will cost us our freedom. We hesitate to go "all in," keeping one foot out the door just in case things get difficult. But in reality, a life without commitment is a life without an anchor; it leaves us drifting at the mercy of every changing wind and passing emotion.Commitment is actually the key to true authority in your life. When you commit to God, you aren't losing your freedom—you are gaining a partner. There is a spiritual law of reciprocity: “If you commit to God, you commit God to commit to you.” By settling your heart on Him, you move from trying to survive on your own strength to operating under His divine backing. You stop being a solo traveler and start being part of a covenant where your success becomes His priority.
God is ever ready to walk step by step with you because he knows what will propel you into your success. He is patiently waiting for you to decide to talk to him about your plans so that he will tell you what you should do for his will to be done in your life. When you do things on your own, you lack the spiritual backing you need for things to work for you. That is why you need to commit to the all-knowing, all-wise God! Throughout the day, when you feel overwhelmed, remind yourself: "I am not doing this alone. God is committed to my progress."
