WHAT ABOUT COMMITMENT? Yeshua demanded a certain level of personal commitment of His true followers. And He gave us an example to illustrate what He meant by commitment. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and COUNT THE COST, whether he has enough to finish it (Luke 14:28). Notice that Christ expects us to count the cost - to understand the consequences and what is required - BEFORE we enter into a commitment! This principle should apply to all our commitments, big or small. Yet, far too often, people rush into situations and end up with great heartache because this simple principle was not followed! How many lives are ruined on the one hand by failure to make commitments, and on the other hand by the impulsive rush to make an unwise commitment? You probably heard the saying, failure to plan is planning to fail. So, look at your life, and see what is missing. Examine what needs to be done, and then commit to doing it. Then, follow through with the commitment you make. Whether as a student, a future husband or wife, or mainly as a Christian! Followings Christs example will not always be easy, but it is IMPOSSIBLE without commitment! So, count the cost, then make a commitment! Obedience to Christ is a GREAT START and prayer to Abba (the Father) is imperative!!!
