Creatively Committed

Isaiah Smoot

As many people know, I am a content creator. I’ve made stuff from flyers to music. Creating content is one of my favorite things to do, and I one day hope to work in my church full time as a creative. Creating content is only part of the job. It’s great that I can create something good, but if I’m not committed to it what good is it? 

One of the hardest parts of anything in life is commitment. Wether it’s a relationship, a job, or maybe your workout routine. Staying with it can get difficult. In order to stay with something you need to have a mind to do so. There can be things that come along and shake you. Things that may cause you to wonder. Things that may cause you to doubt.

A doubting mind can easily take you away from staying committed. 

 I don’t believe it’s “stretching it” to say this is what Proverbs 16:3 is saying when it states, “Commit thy works unto the Lord....”

Creating is work. A relationship is work. A job is work. Staying fit is work. 

The verse says to “Commit your works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.” That word established means “having taken root; growing well.” 

If our thoughts have “taken root” it will be hard for those moments of doubt to keep us from staying committed. 

Challenge: 

Commit your works to God. Let him help you. So the next time you feel like giving up, you won’t.

Stay committed.
