Pledging our allegiance to God cannot be an impulsive action but needs to be a deliberate commitment. It involves a personal examination of exactly what and who we’re placing all our faith & trust in. Is it ourselves or God? Also, is it pride or feelings of unworthiness that are fueling our willingness or hesitation to serve Him? The big dilemma isn’t, “If only I could believe!” but rather, “Will I believe?” When we say, “I will serve the Lord our God and obey Him.” It’s a reaffirmation of our covenant with God, shows our true dependance on Him, and allows God to be all that He says He can be in us…for our good & His glory.
