WHOLE HEART COMMITMENT

COMMITMENT is a verbal and signed agreements, pledges or promises to do or fulfill something such as promises to our children; following the rules on the job; and making monthly payments until paid in full. Moreover all have made promises for self-improvement like cutting back on sweets, walking, and following through on previous commitments made. Most times we remember our promises whether they are personal or involve others. Imagining our COMMITMENTS are realistic and makes sense. Therefore in general we ought to plan to make good on verbal and written promises. Welcome to Monday Morning Inspirational Blog titled, WHOLE HEART COMMITMENT focusing on Palms 119, the step-by-step ways to commit your heart to God. Please share your thoughts, a must read & Blessings!

Psalms is the only Book containing every real-life human experience that leads to psychological troubles like stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and isolation; every thought, impulse and emotion to include fear, anger, sadness, grief, defeat and more (Vernon McGee, Thru the Bible, Vol. 2, page 658). Then Psalms are the inspired responses of human hearts to God’s revelation of Himself (Allen P. Ross, Bible Knowledge Commentary, O.T. p. 779).

God’s revelation of Himself includes His heart, His Spirit and character. Thus the aim is to cultivate your WHOLE HEART COMMITMENT to the LORD.
