2 Chronicles 16:9
"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose heart are fully committed to him."
Reflection
It is a hard task to give up "whatever" in order to follow Jesus completely and fully. However, if we make the commitment to do that we will not have to do it on our own. This verse of scripture promises that if we are committed to Jesus then the Spirit of God will strengthen us and help us to live for him. We need to ask ourselves if we are allowing that strength of God to help us live out our commitment to Jesus? We need to do "whatever" in order to fully follow Jesus even if it means we must surrender to the strength of God in our lives.
