Learning to Commit and Trust

Learning to Commit and Trust  

Psalm 37:5 states, “Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”

       This verse is telling the Christian musician to trust his or her course of life to the self-existent, independent eternal God who is alive, well and able to take care of the Christian’s problems.  God is!  He exists! He’s alive! He hears our prayers!  He cares!  The Bible teaches very clearly that God is “touched by the feeling of our infirmities…”

       The Greek word asthenia (769) connotes feebleness, frailty and weakness.  So, on the authority of God’s Word, we know with certainty that the LORD is move with compassion when he sees our weakness.  God is moved, by his very nature, into action when he sees our feeble efforts to serve Him.  Since we know that he cares about our “way”, we need to commit our path of life unto his care

       It isn’t very much fun to tell God that we are weak in some areas of our Christian walk with him.  It is more enjoyable to ask God to send a “sin killing world-wide revival” than to tell our heavenly Father that we have failed in some area of our life.  You should not worry about being honest with our Savior because he already knows about your infirmities.  He is waiting at the right hand of the Father for you to tell Him that you are in trouble and need help in the way that you should walk before Him.

       Remember that St. John 14:6 records that Jesus said, “I am the way.  In other words Jesus said that, “I am the road and I am the right rout.”  So, this Scripture simply asks the Christian musician to commit his or her journey unto the LORD.

       I do not know what perplexes you today, but I do know that you can trust Jesus to guide you right now, if you will only ask Him to help you and give you good directions in how to get too the Eternal City.
