November 23, 2025 – Deuteronomy 30:11–20
Believers are to be characterized by a wholehearted commitment to God.
In 2022, a good friend and I were considering a new ministry. We were praying together about it, and he became convinced we should start it. We agreed on a meeting time to finalize our decision, and when I walked in, he said, “So are you all in?” He wanted to know if I thought we should move ahead with our plans; but more than that, he wanted to know if I was totally committed.
God expects wholehearted commitment from His people. Sometimes, believers involve themselves in spiritual matters, but they are not totally committed. They might attend worship services, give money to the church, and come to a social event. But their relationship with God doesn’t reflect a total commitment.
As you prepare to lead this study, ask God to give you the wisdom to move past religious activity and toward wholehearted commitment to Him. Encourage the adults in your Bible study to seek wholehearted commitment to God in their own lives as well. Find ways to encourage one another to view the Christian faith not as one aspect of our lives, but as life itself.
