You can say you love God and that you trust God but the question is, are your actions lining up with your words? God is not looking for mere words. He is looking for our lives and our lifestyles to back up what we are saying.
When you truly love someone, you are committed. The word commitment means you have dedication and allegiance to that person. You are loyal and you are faithful to them. You restrict your actions and you refuse to step out on them.
Just take a moment to think about what it means to be dedicated. It means to have “single-minded” loyalty and integrity. That means you are loyal to one and integral concerning your relationship with them.
When you think about allegiance, you think about sovereignty. You think about dedication to something to which you are bound. We have to pledge our allegiance to God but we have to do more than just speak words of truth, we have to live out the truth of those words.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
"If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or takes an oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
