Commitment

3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Proverbs 16:3 NIV

Commitment is, I fear, a thing of the past. In an age of instant everything, commitment takes too much time and effort. Even grits! They make instant grits. Done in 5 minutes. No no no. Grits are made to be cooked from natural corn. Not microwaved from a packet. But real grits take time, like an hour of time. You have to rinse them first then boil them for an hour. But they're so worth the time.

Oatmeal. Instant oatmeal is horrendous, but the real thing takes time, sometimes overnight.

Fast food. Frozen lunches and dinners microwaved in minutes. If you want quality food, you need to cook it yourself from scratch. But it takes time.

Good things take time. Good plans, good prayers, good works. It all takes time. Make the commitment and don't quit befire you realize victory. If you have a goal, commit it to God and let him take his time.
