When we came to Jesus Christ, we received Him as our Lord. Every day, every believer, needs to remind him or herself of this overarching commitment. Of the many decisions I need to make, will I follow God or follow man because I can often not please both. So, make the commitment in advance. Then when the decision comes in real time, you will do what is right. Establish a determined belief in my heart, be resolute – I will follow God and not man.
