Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 16:3 NASB: Commit your works to the LORD And your plans will be established.
We succeed when we commit whatever we do to the LORD. We can expect God’s success and not success defined by the world.
More recent translations of Proverbs 16:3 say if we commit whatever we are doing to the LORD our plans will SUCCEED. The older translations only offered to establish our thoughts and plans
In this verse commitment always comes first. Shouldn’t our goal be to commit whatever we are doing to the LORD? Do we do what we do out of commitment to the LORD or to success?
We can trust the LORD and trust that He will make our thoughts and plans clear and yes, successful. The LORD’s work will always succeed and we can let Him define success for each of us. What we are committed to may not be about our personal success but for the success of others.
Are you committed to the LORD’s success?
Today’s Prayer: LORD, I commit my works to You and trust that You are establishing my thoughts and my plans. Be clear with me LORD. Grant me confidence, wisdom and faith that the thoughts You have given me will complete the works You intend for me to do. I trust You to define success and for clarity to complete Your works. Amen
