Empowered Faith: Navigating Life's Challenges

DAY 5 OF 20

C O M M I T M E N T

With whom are you more likely to spend some time in conversation after a hard fought game, the first-time spectator or the friends and family who have invested years of life and love into your career? Seem like a silly question? Many athletes act like they don’t know the answer.

Jesus knew very well how to answer and in John chapter 2 at verses 24 and 25 we hear how He sees people. “But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.”

This simply means that Jesus stayed aloof from the uncommitted and shallow. He would not commit Himself to those who just wanted a show. He wouldn’t give the same time to the first-time ticket buyer at a game as He would to those among the family who had committed themselves long ago.

It should be the same with us. Don’t commit yourself to the first clown to come around wearing your team’s colors and screaming at ball games. Be a little discerning. Look around to see who is paying the dues of commitment, investing the years, driving the miles and shedding the tears for your life. Those are the ones in whom you can deeply trust and to whom you’d be wise to commit your own life.

Make some commitments on the field of competition today. Invest in your team, your coaches and your family.
