It is giving full attention to it. Therefore, when we say, \u201ccommit it to the Lord\u201d it bears the idea of \u201cgiving it to the Lord wholeheartedly.\u201d Trusting the Lord is also a way of committing our actions and desires to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">We cannot say \u201cwe commit it to the Lord without trusting Him or trusting His ways.\u201d Trust is proven by committing everything to the Lord. It is giving up everything into God&#8217;s hands with hope for His response whether \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cno\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">It is undeniable that oftentimes, we do not commit our ways to the Lord because we think we know what is best for us. We neither come to God nor consult His wisdom in prayer and word due to our arrogance and pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Our plans and ways must be committed to the Lord because we are commanded to do so. Further, the Lord knows better that\u2019s why we can trust His ways and promises. His act may not be immediate and evident nor precisely what we want to happen, but one thing is certain God will act according to His own time, will, and word for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">He is not sleeping like others think which is a sign of distrust and unbelief. Do not lose hope, God is listening and watching. Let&#8217;s come to God and give everything into His hands. Give it to the Lord, entrust your life to Him and He will act for your sake and His name\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">What are your inhibitions for not giving everything to the Lord? The Lord is listening now, call to Him in prayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psalm 37:5 \u201cCommit your way to the\u00a0Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.\u201d The [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":947,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-christian-living","category-devotional"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Logo-7_Devotion_Purging-Word_Title-Cover_1200-x-628-copy.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1391"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1394,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1391\/revisions\/1394"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
