Marine Billboard

So today I'm driving down this street and I see a big billboard with an ad for the marines. It said something along the lines of "We don't take applications, we take commitments."

Wow. How often are members of the Christian army handing God applications and running off before they give their commitment? Interesting thought, hu? I know lately I've been running the type of life that falls under the not-quite-committed category.  It's so easy to forget that being a child of God means constant dedication. Too many of us just periodically check in with Him to keep Him on our good side so that in the chance we might need Him to answer a "Dear God, please....." prayer, He'll be willing. I know all too well how tough it is to keep your focus trained on God and keep it from straying after other temporary pleasures.  We just need to remember that all He expects of us is our will. He will do the rest if we commit to Him our lives.  Where do your loyalties lie? Have you sent in the application without the commitment? There's never a better time to start laying your life before God than this moment. It's worth it, just do it.
