Commitment

Definition of COMMITMENT

a : an agreement or pledge to do something

b : something pledged

c : the state or an instance of being obligated or emotionally impelled

I found this definition in the Webster's Online Dictionary.  As I let in soak in I realized that commitment is the very thing Satan doesn't want us to understand.  If we "pledge" to pursue HIM or are "emotionally impelled" to have faith in HIM then Satan has a tough time having his way in our life.  Another thing the enemy doesn't want us to stay committed to is our Fire team of men that we have "pledged" and "agreed" to be involved.  He wants us to be uncommitted and let each other down.  Especially this time of the year...he will get us to think we have "too much going on" or "it's summertime" and I will take a break for awhile.   Remember the example of the lion following the flock of sheep hiding in the bushes waiting for one of them to "drift off" so he can jump out and devour them while they "have too much going on" or "it's summer time so I am going to take a break".

So are you staying committed to your pursuit of HIM?

Are you staying committed to your team of guys?

Can they count on your committtment?

Are you someone who will follow through on your commitments?
