Psalm 37:5-6

To whom and to what are you most committed?  What do you expect to come from those committed relationships?  Today’s scripture tells of a person who is worthy of such commitment and one who rewards commitment greatly.

In Psalm 37 at verses 5 and 6 we read, “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.”

As we commit ourselves to God and trust him with the details of life, he’s very faithful to reward us and to even make us look good.  This text says that our righteousness will shine like the dawn.  Just like the rising son, the issues of life become plainer and we know exactly what to do.  It says that the justice of our cause will shine like noonday.  Even those around us will see the shining result of our commitment and trust as we justly pursue God’s will.

In today’s competition, commit everything about yourself to God’s wise care.  He’s fully trustworthy with every part of life, even sport.  Entrust your whole life to him and watch as he strongly supports you in every way.
