God Wants To Know: Will We Put A Ring On It?

We like to say that God is the most important thing in our life, but do we mean it? A woman has integrity who says the clothes stay on until he puts a ring on it. The man who stumbles allows women in under the wrong circumstances. Samson and Delilah, David and Bathsheba, both men got comfortable and the enemy tried to destroy them. We set ourselves up for failure by our lack of commitment. If we would agree with God, obey Him, and pour ourselves out for Him there would be no limit for us.

Commitment Ensures SUCCESS!

When we say, “God here I am, send me!” Do we mean it?

Without commitment there is no success. We commit to marriage but when the commitment stops, the relationship fails. We commit to owning a home, a car, years of education, but God is asking:

“Do you love me? Or are you just saying you love me because you want to get into bed with me? Do you love me for what you want me to do for you or how I make you feel? If you CHOOSE me and COMMIT to me, you’ll never fail. I AM LOVE and I do all things in love and love never fails.”

Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:8)

Commitment Is Seen In Our Words And Actions

We’re all in sin until we commit to God. First, we commit verbally and invite Him into our life. Then, if we say God is important, our actions and behavior need to show it. We show God we love Him by praising Him in worship instead of showing up just in time for the sermon. We need to be in church regularly because we love God and want to give Him that time.

Commitment Has Purpose

God wants us more than we know. Commitment provides a level of protection. It removes the enemy’s foothold which entices us to stay undecided. A lack of commitment is a false intimacy. God intends for us to have a genuine, deep and safe intimacy with Him and with each other through marriage. Once we decide, we remove the enemy foothold of double-mindedness.

“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:8)

You Do He Do. You Don’t He Don’t.

We all struggle with obedience; it happens one decision at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time. Will we shut the door on mediocrity? In marriage we give our spouse our time, talent, and treasure. What are we showing God in our actions? Will we choose to commit to God today or are we going to just keep dating Him?
