Character Traits (Committed)

I was going through some things and came a cross a list of Character Traits that at one time I was working on devotionals for them. I had not finished any one character trait and best as I can figure it was because of our travels and if I was asked to teach a SS class or speak at a ladies mtg, I would stop that and work on something else.

Any way all that to say, I thought I would pick this back up and periodically post various Character Traits. Todays is Committed.
Committed - Te devote or pledge (oneself) to the doing of something.
What are we committed to?
Church
Prayer
Bible Reading
Marriage
Relationships
Work
Play
Family
The Lord
I didn't listen these in any particular order, here I'm just throwing out some things we may be committed to.

Following are some Bible verse on commitment
1. Psalm 31:5 "Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou has redeemed me, O Lord God of truth."
Have you committed your spirit to the Lord. After all he was the one who saved you and gave you a life worth living!
2. Psalm 37:5 "Commit thy way unto the Lord: trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."
3. II Corinthians 5:19 "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."
Christ, committed to forgive us our sins. Now he didn't have to do that, but He chose to and because of his choice we are forgiven. The least we as Christians can is commit to obey him by doing what he commands us to do. Don't be afraid to be a committed Christian.
4. II Timothy 2:2 "And the things that thou has heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."
As Parents, teachers, SS teachers ect. we should be committed to our children (class). They depend on us to be faithful and to bring them what they need. Be a committed teacher, parent or whatever you do.
5.Job 5:8 "I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:"
This one can go back to yesterdays lesson on "What is your Cause?" as well as today, are we committed. We really should commit fully to our Lord and the work he has set before us. We go about doing things half heartily we're not fully committed.
What in your life are you doing but not fully committed?

Again, for those with children starting school, encourage them to fully commit their whole heart in ALL they Do this school year!
