A boy said to his girlfriend, “I would climb the highest mountain for you. I would swim the widest ocean for your love. I would brave the coldest snowstorm or the hottest desert to be with you. I would challenge a thousand dragons for your hand. And I’ll be over Saturday night if it is not raining.”

Maybe this reminds us of some who suggest to the Lord, “I will do…” or “I will give…” or “I will die for you…” but refuse to even live for Him.

Simon Peter said to the Lord he would not deny Him — but he did. His promise sounded great, but did not mean a thing!

Let us make a commitment to the Lord and then make it count. Let us keep our eyes on Jesus (Heb. 12:2), and press toward the prize (Phil. 3:14).
