What Or Who Persuades You?

How truly committed are you to the things of God?   If God tells you to do something .... how committed are you really?   Are you committed to do it....no matter what?   No matter what it requires of you.   If it requires you getting up when everyone else is sleep?   If it requires you sacrificing when you only have a little?   If it requires you shutting down the tv?   If it requires you giving up unhealthy relationships and friendships that bring about compromise in your life?   If it requires you to give?  

The thing about commitment is .... it takes you out of the norm.   Your way of doing things.   It puts you in a place of "requirement".   A place where something is necessary.   A place of obligation.   You have to go beyond your norm.   When you tell God that you are committed to Him, you will have to go beyond your norm and be completely obligated to Him.

Today is the day of salvation.   The day of "soteria".   The Greek word soteria means....deliverance, preservation, safety, and salvation.   God has delivered you.   He has preserved you.   He has made you safe.   What will you do for Him.   Will you be "totally committed" to His plan, His purpose, His life?   Are you willing to let go and let God?   Let Him be the driving force of everything you do, everything you say, and every relationship you have.  

When you are persuaded, you are moved based on the plea or belief of something or someone else.   Let your only persuasion come from God.
