DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 2; Psalms 146-147; Mark 12:18-44
And Ruth said, … for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Ruth 1:16
Commitment! It’s in short supply today. Many Christians will follow as long as the way is easy and does not clash with their own desires. The Greek word to “believe” means both to “depend upon”, and to “commit to”. When I trust Christ I am depending upon Him to take my sins away, but I am also making a complete commitment of myself, with all my hopes, ambitions, plans and possessions to Christ—a commitment never to be rescinded. I am saying “I’ll go where You want me to go; I’ll be what You want me to be.” —David Croudace
All for Jesus! All for Jesus! All my being’s ransomed powers,
All my thoughts and words and doings, all my days and all my hours.
—Mary D. James
