I visited my brother and sister-in-love today and she had just baked a fresh pumpkin pie, pepperoni rolls with cheese in them and chicken soup. I really wanted to eat, but I started a special eating program 14 days ago. I made a commitment to only eat certain foods on certain days. Those items were not on the list. I felt really bad because she had planned for us to share a meal with them. Still I had made a commitment. Either my word is good or it's not. I choose to keep my word. No one makes you or I do anything. We can’t fear others opinions of us or worry about what others may or may not think. We must be truthful to our word first and foremost. This is really hard if you are a people pleaser or fear confrontation. However, as a child of God and a model to others we have a responsibility to stand on our word just as we stand on God’s word.
ACTION STEP: Today stay committed to your word. Regardless of what transpires, let Jesus be our model, for His word is forever true. When you stay committed to your word, it strengthens you from the inside out to stay committed to his Word. His Word works, so I challenge you today to work the Word!
