You may have heard the story of the chicken and pig that were friends. They were talking one morning about how nice the farmer was so the chicken made a suggestion that they fix him a ham and egg breakfast. The pig answered by saying, “Well, for you it involves a donation. For me it takes total commitment”.
Often in life, as Christians, we have no problem making a donation of money, time, or talent. We are busy with life, and while we enjoy church and serving the Lord, our involvement stays on the level of donations. The best things of God can never be obtained through donations but must be total commitment. Salvation is received by totally committing your life to God, not a donation of good works. The full blessings of God are not found through an occasional donation, but through understanding what it means to be committed to serving God and those around you. Donations are generally made with your extra money, extra time, or extra talent. Total commitment involves turning everything over to God and allowing Him to use you as He desires fully believing in the process that He will supply your every need. Let’s not live a life of donating, but one of total commitment. Jesus gave His life for us, and we need to do the same as it says in 1 John 3:16, "We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters."
Proverbs 16:3 Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.
Matthew 22:37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

What are your default settings? In computer terminology, the word "default" refers to the response a computer is programmed to have unless the user instructs it to do something different. When a computer is acting up one of the things you can do is reboot, and you also may have to return the computer to its default settings.
So back to my previous question; what are your default settings? Unless someone pressures you or influences you what are your default behaviors? Do you automatically pray, read your Bible, witness, go to church, and serve God or do you only do those things when someone is watching or pressuring you to do so? Our default settings as Christians are the fruit of the Spirit and a desire to put God first in our life. When we allow our minds and hearts to become clogged with worldly data, viruses, and carnal input we do not function as intended by God. Let’s do some cleaning up, apply God’s virus protection, and maybe even defragment our minds. Allow the Holy Spirit to reboot you and get you back in tip-top shape.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
