Our salvation begins with a rolling away of the stone and salvation comes.
Now, what else does this tell us about a blessed victorious life for you?
It says commit, what? Commit your way. In Hebrew the word is derekh. Try it.
Derekh means the road, the path, the, the, the way, the way of your life, the way you walk. Are you
satisfied with your course or with your life or with your path or your life?
You want it to be blessed? It says commit it to God. Commit your path to God.
Commit the course. You've got plans? Don't just do something. First, lift it to God.
... you've got a big decision? Make sure you are first asking God.
A lot of people thought something looked good. It destroyed their life. You've got a choice.
Every day. Commit it first to God. Commit your plans, commit your, your way to God.
And he will, well we're going to go ahead with that. What will he do? Your entire
future, commit it. When you have to make a decision you must, you must seek God.
Before I went to, when I was in college I had to make a decision of going to
another college, I fasted. I just got, I just got saved so I had to know. Okay
I can't just just make this decision. I fasted and prayed for several days and
God directed me and that has led to all these other things. But I couldn't know it.
You have, before you do, commit your plans for the future. Before you do it
commit. I mean look at the people who have made ... Abraham committed
his way to God, but not always. He made a mistake once at least. More than once.
But he made a mistake when Sarah said, hey I've got a great idea. Go into the,
the maid and then we'll have the child that God says because I can't do it. So they did.
But they didn't ask God about it. They didn't commit to God. They didn't do
any of this. And they paid the price for it. You know so, but, but when Abraham later
on, he comes to Isaac, it's, it's a bit weird because they didn't have a child so they messed up.
They didn't commit. Now they do have a child and God says okay I'm testing you now.
Lift him up to me. Lift him up to be able to give him ... give him to me.
And he lifts him up and for that ... that's the commitment.
He's saying, Lord I trust you. And what's God saying? Whatever it is, lift it
up to God and he'll give you Isaac. Lift, you've got an Isaac, lift it up to God.
He'll either, he'll either give Isaac back or he'll give you something better than Isaac.
I mean there's no better than Isaac for Abraham but he'll give you
something better, whatever it is, you have to be willing to always commit to God.
And it's not just once. Sometimes you have to commit it back because you took it.
Commit it to God. This is my Isaac. Commit it. Because I trust you Lord.
You are the one. I trust you. Commit it with your future. Commit to him before you're
gonna do something. And after you do it, commit the outcome to him. Okay Lord,
I'm walking now. I'm walking out of the boat. I commit it and ... what that ...
means, I trust my future. You can worry about your future. You can be concerned
about your future. You can be wrapped up in your future. Or you can commit your
future ... I've committed ... I'm rolling my future to you God.
... my times are in your hands. I trust you and that's why it's really good when you
pray, like we just did a little bit. When you pray, pray, don't just pray for
the thing. Thank God for the answer to the prayer. Because then you're committing it
to him. You're not just, Lord, I need, I need. When you say thank you for
the answer I don't see yet, whatever that is I thank you, you are now trusting and
believing and there's peace. And God honors that. Commit your way and then,
what does it say in Hebrew? The Hebrew is al Adonai. Commit it, or commit it onto
the Lord. It's committed on top of the Lord. Roll it on to the Lord. Let him hold it.
