Commitment

1 Peter 4:19 "Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls unto well doing, as unto a faithful creator."
Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established."

Commitment. A big word with a big impaction on our life, if we allow it. Actually it is something I see lacking in the world today. I see it in parenting, marriage relationships, work ethics, and last but not least our relationship with the Lord.

The key words are "according to the will of God". We often suffer because of our foolish decisions. Then cry to God..as if He is the cause. But when we suffer for His cause, then we can trust that He will keep our souls as a faithful creator. He is faithful! He has proven that to us over and over again. Have you found Him faithful? Are our thoughts established?

Patrick called today. He is doing well, and very busy. He has a few more days to prepare for the pastors conference. Pray for him.

Pray for Agape and I as we prepare for his departure to Haiti on Sunday.
Pray for Rachel and family as they have some much deserved R&R in Atlanta.
Pray for Kaye as she travels home from Switzerland.
