Commit to theLord

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. 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.

    • This is great stuff for reflection! Too often we make our own plans and then ask the Lord to bless them and then when things dont quite work out, we fall on our knees before Him. The opposite is the correct path. Talk to Him, ask Him what He thinks of the plans we have before we implement them. Once we allow Him to direct our paths, then and only then will we live wholesome lives. Lives which bring honor to His name!
