Yay, it’s Friday! Uh, what else can I say that’s just obvious, stupid and a waste people’s time to read? “Duh… right now I’m in front of my computer writning another Xanga post because I’m caught up with my work. My background is black… but not right now because I’m writing using ‘X-TOOLS’. Hahaha, I’m so funny.”
My friend Joseph’s band (Mass Atonomy?) asked me to play drums with them at a show tomorrow. It should be pretty sweet; I don’t get a chance to play drums very often anymore. We’re opening for the band I used to play for (12 Tone). We’re doing 2 Chevelle songs, Switchfoot, 2 originals and some other song I don’t know.
So, Half-Life 2 has been out for a while now. I remember falling in love with the first one mostly for the graphics. Heheh, check this out. Now-and-then version of one of the characters. Another hi-tech pic.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD ;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
I was thining about this passage lastnight. What do you think? Does commit your way to the Lord mean to submit to him through your way, or to change your ways? Can we say “Lord, this is what I’m doing. I commit it to You. Please bless it and annoint me.” or is it more like “Father, I’m going to do only the things that I can say for sure you want me to do.” Which one of those would you say is “commiting your way”?
“He will make…the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.”
I think commiting your way to the Lord is surrending it all to Him. Basically, not my will be done, but your will be done 🙂 Think about it…”Commit YOUR WAY to the Lord.” Basically give Him your will, lay it down, and let Him show you want He wants you to do 🙂 Not sure if that helps 🙂
oh yes napoleon was my inspiration most definitely…you can steal if you want! just give me some sort of credit 🙂 nice to see another adam out there, you seem super cool and this post is really good! i’m subscribing ha ha GOD IS GOOD

A bad idea eh? I’ll show you a bad idea when I bop you over the head. I grew up with three older brothers – don’t think I can’t do it!
This is the first time I’ve had the volume on when I’ve come to your site – is that you singing?
As for committing your life – when I pray this I have faith that the Lord will show me the way he wants me to go – so I committ my way, ask the Lord to open my eyes to His plan – and He does. Heck, that’s how I’ve gotten this far!
i think commiting your way to the Lord means sayin “God, i don’t always know whats going on…but i wanna follow You. i wanna be in Your will so when i mess up, let me know & give me the knowledge & the strength to make things right.”
in my opinion, commiting “your way” to God is just to lay down your life and trust him no matter what the cirmcumstances. and yeah that can be hard. because so many times i find myself saying, Lord what are you trying to do?!?! dont you want me to be happy?? but the thing he is, he really does and the things we want on this earth are nothing. at all. so i just have to remind myself to submit to his will and what he has in store for me. because his plans are so much greater than my own. and he can take me to heights i’ve never imagined. so i guess its just being able to forget the things on this earth you desire, and forget the will you have for yourself. and totally submit to God in faith. i mean…if that was to mean we’re supposed to commit the way we already have for ourselves to Christ, would that really be commiting? no…it would just be trying to justify our own will. but to totally and completely follow God’s will for our lives, i think that would be comitting our way. idk if that helped. but thats just my input. God bless!

<LABEL id=HbSession SessionId=”3901981005″> The longer you know the Lord, if you’re growing in your relationship with Him, His desires will become your desires. “Commit your way to the Lord” I think is not struggling against that but seeking out what His desires are, in order to carry them out.
