So I think I have a problem with commitment. Really, commitment to anything: exercise, reading the Bible, keeping my room clean... the list could go on and on. So it has to be about discipline, right? I'm not disciplined enough? But I'm pretty committed to other things, like keeping up with my favorite TV show, or eating 3 meals a day. Maybe it's not so much about discipline as it is about priorities. What are my priorities? If I think I can't live without something - wouldn't I place that thing pretty high on my list of priorities and then by default be pretty committed to it? And probably be pretty disciplined in keeping up with it.
I think this can be applied to relationships as well. And since I do not have a husband I am going to stick with this line of thinking in comparison to our relationship with God. I know that God is my creator, my provider, my sustainer... right? If I truly believed that God was everything I need or ever could need, why do I not have the discipline to read His word, or to talk to Him in prayer for any length of time?
I sometimes think, when Lord are you going to do this, or why haven't you answered this request, or fulfilled this desire? But have I made God a priority in my life?
He loves us so much. Why don't we make Him a priority in our lives as He did in His life by giving His own Son to die that we may live?
"Lord, help me to get my priorities strait!"
