Sunday's message at church was about commitment. I realize I have difficulty with commitment (commitment issues) in my walk. I get gung-ho and then I take my eyes off. Like when Peter got out of the boat, HE WAS WALKING ON WATER!!!! Look what you can do if you have faith, trust and keep your eyes on Him. I get in the way of myself, I think I have to intervene in what He is doing in my life.
They showed a video, that was so revealing. It was a woman with a stool and Jesus. She told Jesus He could sit on the stool and make her decisions. But, then when her friend came along, she quickly sat on the stool and committed to doing what her friend wanted. Then Jesus asked her, if she wanted the stool back so she could be in control and she apologetically offered the stool back to Him. Then when He sat on the stool, and she was confronted with decisions she started to try and find a way onto the stool in conjunction with Jesus. Eventually she was hanging around His back, piggyback style, trying to provide her input to the decision making process. Jesus kept offering the stool back but she refused and finally Jesus asked her to make up her mind.
I know we all do this, I am an expert at taking back control, I offer it away, then try and take it back after I have given it up. I have to look at what Jesus is capable of doing in my life if I keep my eyes on Him. Maybe one day I will be able to walk on water.
