Are we All In for Jesus? Going through difficult seasons will reveal whether we are all in for Jesus! Words are easy, but our response proves that we are All In.

“O God, YOU ARE MY GOD; earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh faints for You, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding Your power and glory. Because Your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in Your name I will lift up my hands.” Psalm 63:1-4

David is in the wilderness and has a bounty on his head. But he shows us characteristics of being All In for Jesus:

• I will seek after the Lord! My soul desires the Lord! My flesh desires the Lord! If I am going to be All In, I must seek the Lord personally. “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
• I look for the Lord in every situation. I need His presence, peace, and power in my life. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I cannot make it without Jesus in my life.
• His steadfast love is better than life! If you know that Jesus is All In for you, you will be all in for yourself. Jesus loves me; this I know, for the Bible tells me so.
• I will praise and worship Jesus in all of my days! Not every day is fun or easy, but I will praise the Lord with my lips! I will bless the Lord, O my soul! Start praising the Lord today!
• Being All In means that I surrender all of me to the Lord! “In Your name I will lift up my hands.”

I must surrender all of me—my family, future, and finances—to the Lord!

Today, I need to make the choice that I am going to be ALL IN FOR JESUS!
