March 21 - Being Committed
"For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe." - 1 Thessalonians 2:13
Scholars as well as regular Christians seem to want to place the error on the Word of God, rather than on their own understanding. Often it isn't even a lack of understanding, but desire. If you don't desire to follow Scripture and obey Scripture, then you will find fault on every page of Scripture.
The Word of God is easy to understand, easy to implement, but hard to follow. That is why Jesus said:
"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." - Matthew 11:29 – 30
If His yoke is easy and His burden light, then why is the life in Christ difficult? Just because Jesus yoke is easy, doesn’t mean it is without hardship. Just because His burden is light, does not mean we do not have to sacrifice much carry His burden. Let us walk with Jesus and learn from Him so that our commitment to the Word of God and Jesus Christ will grow in our heart.
