Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established.
Proverbs 16:3
Question
What are you holding onto that you need to fully commit to the Lord today?
Context
Proverbs is filled with wisdom for everyday life, reminding us that true success is found in surrender to God. This verse does not say not to make plans, but it does teach us who should be at the center of them. When our work is committed to the Lord, He aligns our steps with His purpose.
Application
At the beginning of each year we often make new plans, goals, and expectations. By mid January, those plans may already feel heavy. God does not ask you to carry the future alone. He invites you to place your work, responsibilities, and dreams into His hands. When you do, He brings clarity, stability, and direction. This Proverb advises us to offer our plans to God before we pursue them. And by doing so, we can confidently ask God to shape our goals and bless them.
Truth For The Day
When your plans are surrendered to God, your steps are guided by Him.
Pray
Lord, I commit my work, my plans, and this new year to You. Order my steps and establish what brings You glory. Help me trust You with both the process and the outcome. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
