Commit your works to the Lord

Proverbs 16:3
Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.
Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers says, “Commit thy works unto the Lord.—Literally, roll them upon Him, as a burden too heavy to be borne by thyself. “Thy works” signify all that thou hast to do. (Comp. Psalm 37:5.) God provides such works for us. (Comp. Ephesians 2:10.) And thy thoughts shall be established.—Thy plans shall prosper, for they will be undertaken according to the will of God, and carried out by His aid. (Comp. 1Corinthians 3:9; 2Corinthians 6:1.)”

 

There is so much about this that I love! Everything you have to do, rely on the Lord for help. “All the things.” It’s going to work out! It may not look like you originally had in mind, but it will work out when you are trusting God with all the details!
