Devotional: God Honors Our Commitment to Him

I have to share this beautiful devotional a dear friend just sent me. Our family has certainly radically committed ourselves to our LORD. We are patiently following His lead and already feeling His amazing blessings.

May you be inspired to follow His lead for you.

God Honors Our Commitment to Him
Daniel 1:1-21

Daniel and his friends faced the same dilemma we do--how to live a holy life in a godless culture. At one time, our society readily accepted Christian values and standards, but that era is quickly passing. Our challenge today is to 
live under God's authority while remaining in submission to the law of the land. At times we are forced to choose between the two, but if we'll seek the Lord's guidance before marching defiantly forward, He may open an alternative approach for us.

Although we don't know all that God could do in our lives if we'd radically commit ourselves to Him, the thought of missing out on His plans should be enough to motivate us to obey. You don't want to arrive in heaven and discover you forfeited blessings because you weren't fully devoted to Him.
