Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
    and he will establish your plans.

Proverbs 16:3

This maxim should give us pause; especially if we are wise. Why do we do the things we do, to advance His glory or to glorify ourselves? If we commit what we do to Him, then we are doing what is right and pleasing in His sight, and when we do that, He will bring our plans to fruition, but if we only act for ourselves… well then it might appear to a reasonable mind that we have no need for His help.
