Only a content heart can fully commit. The discontented heart will always look back and unfortunately, somtimes turn back because it is lukewarm, doubtful, uncertain, insecure, and unstable in his ways. God needs to knwo that He can trust us with the possessions that He was prepared to give to us. He must be sure that we will use the possessions in accordance with His plan and purpose. He needs to know that we are fully committed to His kingdom way and not easily seduced by riches and wealth to meet selfish desires. God needs to know that we will not conform to the ways of the world, but instead be fully committed to that which is good, acceptable, and pleasing to Him.
