His Word

Commit To The Lord Whatever You Do

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

Proverbs 16: 3, NIV

If you feel like your efforts were wasted, and bad things keep on happening. Then, let this verse remind you what to do.  

Surrender all your works to God. Trust in His grace and mercy. Seek His wisdom. And allow Him to help you. Depend on Him. It means that you need to stop relying on your own strength. Let His love reign in your heart, and you will receive His peace and grace.

Committing your works to God means acknowledging His sovereignty in your life. You believe with all your heart that He is powerful and He can do all things. It’s like telling God that even though you are going through a tough situation, you are willing to offer everything that you do for the expansion of His Kingdom.

We usually establish our plans first before committing our works to God. We make our goals, and then we ask God to help us. But then, in this verse, Solomon encouraged us to first surrender whatever we do to Him. It means that we need to keep in mind that we are working not for the sake of our selfish desires but to please and honor Him. After this, God will then establish our plans.

Prayer: Father God, thank you for always being by my side. Thank you for giving me this beautiful reminder. I pray for your grace, Lord, that I may always choose to commit to you whatever I do. Give me a humble heart that’s willing to acknowledge your will. Teach me how to honor you, and help me that I may choose to seek your wisdom in everything that I do. This I ask, in Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
