TOV 25-049 The Cost of Partial Commitment

TODAY'S FOCUS IS: What Happens When You’re Only 80% In?
1

Warrior, let’s get real—how much of you does God really have? Are you 100% in, or are you just coasting at a comfortable 80%? A lot of men believe they’re committed, but when push comes to shove, they’re still holding back. A little compromise here, a little hesitation there, and before they know it, they’re straddling two worlds—God’s and their own. But here’s the truth: partial commitment is no commitment at all."

Scripture: Jesus replied, ‘No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.’" – Luke 9:62

Jesus made it plain: if you’re looking back, you’re not fit for His kingdom. Think about that. If a farmer plows while looking over his shoulder, his rows are crooked, his harvest is weak, and his work is wasted. That’s what happens when men try to live for God while clinging to comfort, approval, or control. You can’t move forward in faith while your heart is still tied to the past.

What does this cost you? Everything. When you hold back in your faith, your marriage feels the weight of your inconsistency. Your kids see a father who talks about God but doesn’t fully trust Him. Your leadership lacks the authority that only comes from a man fully surrendered to Christ. Worse yet, you miss out on the power, peace, and purpose that God gives to those who go all in.

Warrior, it’s time to cut the rope. Burn the ships. Go all in. No more “almost.” No more “just enough.” Jesus didn’t die so we could live 80% for Him. He paid for it all, and He deserves all of us in return.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What area of your life is still holding you back from full surrender?

LET’S PRAY: Lord, I don’t want to live half-committed. Show me where I’m holding back. Give me the courage to let go, to trust You fully, and to walk forward without hesitation. I want to be a man who lives 100% for You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

LET’S GET TO WORK!
