keeping commitments

You find it easy to keep your commitments to others. But how good are you at keeping commitments to yourself? When you're striving to become a woman who can take it or leave it when it comes to alcohol, food, or any other struggle you're facing, keeping commitments to yourself becomes a vital piece of the puzzle.

 

Of course, there will be times when you need to break commitments. However, if you consistently say you're going to do something, like drinking less, but fail to keep that commitment to yourself and follow through, this episode is for you.

With the recent Presidential elections over and after a nasty and ugly campaign, one thing is pretty obvious; regardless of which candidate you supported - the character and integrity of a candidate no longer matters to a majority of Americans. Both candidates trustable rankings were in the low 30 % meaning that over 70% of America did not trust or believe the word of either candidate and yet the same people who said they did not trust or believe a candidate went on to support and vote for that same candidate. We make excuses like "someone's private life" shouldn't effect their "public life" and yet that is the exact same argument Jesus was dispelling in his Sermon on the Mount! The religious leaders came to believe that as long as everything looked good publically, as long as you followed the prescribed rules - you were spiritual/righteous; Jesus came along and said they had missed the point! Here in Matthew 5:33-37 He argues that it is our private lives - the condition of our hearts that holds the key to everything we do and His followers cannot separate their private faith from their public lives. He does so by explaining why integrity and truthfulness are so important; why character matters, why our words, our promises and commitments matter! It was a counter cultural message in His day, and even more so today!

Do you know the difference between "making" a promise or commitment and "keeping" that promise or commitment? Many in the church today seem to have a "keeping" problem. We easily and readily "make" promises, even to God; but when it comes to "keeping" those promises and commitments - the struggles come. Find out how the people in Nehemiah's day found a solution to this problem!
