Let’s Commit
Do yourself a favor. Surrender to God and study these scriptures from The Message Bible.
I’m taking my case straight to God Almighty; I’ve had it with you—I’m going directly to God. -Job 13:3
Just wait, this is going to work out for the best—my salvation! -Job 13:16
Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I’m not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd’s crook makes me feel secure. -Psalm 23:4
But there’s also this, it’s not too late—God’s personal Message!–“Come back to me and really mean it! Come fasting and weeping, sorry for your sins!” Change your life, not just your clothes. Come back to God, your God. And here’s why: God is kind and merciful. He takes a deep breath, puts up with a lot. This most patient God, extravagant in love, always ready to cancel catastrophe. Who knows? Maybe he’ll do it now, maybe he’ll turn around and show pity. Maybe, when all’s said and done, there’ll be blessings full and robust for your God! -Joel 2:12-14
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me: Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
-Matthew 11:28-30
