There is a moment in time, when you know the birds are committed.
In their minds, they have crossed the point of no return.
Feet extended towards the water, head and neck stretched out, and wings back-flapping, fully committed.
Deep inside my veins burns a passion to witness this monumental moment.
Truly, it is a special opportunity watching a group of birds circle the spread and then commit to it.
Locked and coming in on a string, from the heavens.
Rarely does this happen effortlessly.
Long hours and hard work must be invested by the waterfowler to get any species of waterfowl to commit to the spread.
The same rings true about our hearts, or at least my heart.
I must invest long hours and work hard to stay committed to God, my wife, my family, and my ministry.
Without this crucial investment, my heart will wander.
It will stray from the things that I hold most dearly.
“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?”
Jeremiah reminds us to continuously invest the hard work needed to keep our hearts committed to the things that matter most in life.
We must be fully committed; otherwise we waste our lives.
Our lives are worthless, until we commit ourselves to a greater purpose than ourselves.
Take time this week and recommit your heart to the things most important to you.
Let me know what you’re committing to this week, in the comments below!
