What does this mean? Commitment and trusting? These two are serious, intentional decisions. They come from inside, from a deep love driven desire of the heart. Commitment is a bond, a promise, that once made must never be broken.
Trusting is the total giving of ones self, ones life to the One who will protect, provide for all needs, and be faithful to keep every promise made. Commitment and trusting require the willingness to forsake everything and everyone who would interfere with the loving relationship between the two who have sealed this sacred bond with their love.
What does committing our ways to the Lord and trusting in him do for us? Here is what God has promised to do, “He will make your Righteous reward shine like the dawn, and your vindication like the noonday sun.” I think the righteous reward is Jesus, who is the Light of the world. Our Reward is to become light in us. We will shine. We will shine, and our countenance will glow all because we have been vindicated, found not guilty of our crimes of sin. We will be pardoned. We will be free because we have the Righteous Reward given to us by the Father whom we trust. The Holy Spirit is a constant reminder that we have his Seal of approval, the One in whom we have committed ourselves.
Commit you ways to the Lord, trust in him, and he will do this; He will make your Righteous reward shine like the Dawn; your vindication like the noonday sun. Psalm 37:5-6
