"COMMIT YOURSELF to instruction; listen carefully to the words of knowledge."
Tell the truth, how much time do you spend listening to the words of knowledge and instruction in the Bible? Pastor's will acknowledge that they spend a great deal of time in the Word. Some Christians spend a great deal of time getting instruction and learning about the Lord. What about those of us who have not been called to be a teacher of pastor? How much time and energy should the average christian spend in instruction and learning about the Lord? Are you committed to instruction from the Lord? Do you listen and learn the words of knowledge in the bible? It should be the desire of every believer to Know and Love God. Have you made that kind of commitment. Today may be the right day to COMMIT YOURSELF!
Is the bible just a dust collector in your home? Do you have a habit of reading through the bible on a yearly basis? Do you read the bible everyday with the goal of learning more and more about the Lord. Have you committed to having the knowledge sufficient that you could instruct others? Do you carefully listen and then ingest the Word of God into your heart and mind? Are you just a hearer or reader of the word or are you a doer of the Word? Is the Word of God truth and light to you? Everyone needs to make a conscious decision to COMMIT YOURSELF!
If you have given your life to Christ and you want to follow Him then you need to know His Word. The bible is the manual for our lives. It is the instruction on what to do. All the information you will ever need in your life is in the Word. If we do not commit to reading and then learning the information in the instruction manual then the results are predictable. What is the most important thing in your life? The correct answer is to make sure that Jesus Christ the Lord God is first in anything and everything that you do. How much time do you spend with the Lord each day. What should come first before our other efforts of the day? What is the last thing we need to remember at night. COMMIT YOURSELF today and every day of your life!
