FULLY COMMITTED
"And may your hearts be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by His decrees and obey His commands, as at this time." 1 Kings 8:61
These words are part of King Solomon's prayer of dedication at the completion of the temple in Jerusalem. It was a moment of celebration and fulfillment, a physical reminder that God was dwelling among His people. But Solomon didn't want a beautiful building. He want a faithful people.
Not halfway committed. Not when commitment is convenient. Not when you feel like committing.
Fully committed.
It's easy to drift into partial commitment: reading your bible when life slows down and you and find the time, praying only when things go wrong, showing up to church when your family has a free weekend. But Solomon's prayer still calls to us today, and it's clear: be all-in with your faith.

So what could full commitment look like in your everyday life? Here are four things you and your family can do to build a life that's fully committed to the Lord:
-Read your Bible daily. Not out of guilt, but out of hunger. Let God's Word shape your thoughts and decisions.
-Pray continually. As 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, keep an ongoing conversation with God through every moment, big and small.
-Be rooted in your church. Attend regularly. Serve consistently. Don't just go ...belong!
-Live in obedience. When God speaks, follow. His commands aren't burdens; they're the path to real freedom.
Full commitment isn't perfection, it's direction. It means you've set your heart fully toward God and you're pursuing Him with all your have.
