Committing to the Journey
Scripture Reading — Psalm 37:3-9
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will . . . make your righteous reward shine like the dawn. . . .
— Psalm 37:5-6
There’s something sacred about starting a journey—even more so when we commit it to the Lord.
I remember a season when I launched into a new role that felt bigger than me. I had my doubts, my fears, and even a few naysayers in my ear. But I also had a quiet confidence—not in myself but in the One who had called me to it.
Committing your way to the Lord isn’t just a one-time declaration; it’s a daily surrender. It involves waking up and saying, “God, I trust you more than my own understanding.” The beautiful thing is that when we commit to trust in the Lord, he doesn’t just point us in the right direction—he walks with us.
Psalm 37 reminds us that trust and commitment go hand in hand. It’s not about having all the answers or never feeling uncertain. It’s about choosing to put your plans, goals, and hopes into the hands of the faithful God who knows what’s best.
The road might be long, but we don’t walk it alone. And every step we take with God is a step toward becoming who he made us to be.
Lord, I commit my path to you. Help me to trust you in every twist and turn, knowing that you are guiding me for my good and for your glory. Amen.
