Commit Your Works

 Opening Verse:

“Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established.” – Proverbs 16:3 (NKJV)

Introduction:

In our daily walk, we often strive to achieve goals, meet expectations, and fulfill our dreams. Today’s devotional focuses on the power of entrusting our endeavors to the Lord and the peace and direction it brings.

Devotional Story:

Michael, a young entrepreneur, was on the brink of launching his own business. He had planned every detail meticulously but felt overwhelmed by the uncertainty of success. One evening, while reading Proverbs 16:3, he realized he hadn’t truly committed his work to the Lord. That night, Michael prayed, entrusting his business and all his efforts to God. In the weeks that followed, he noticed a change in his approach. He worked diligently, but with a newfound peace, trusting in God’s guidance.

What This Means:

Committing our works to the Lord means more than just asking for His blessing. It involves a heart posture of reliance and trust in God’s sovereignty, understanding that our plans succeed through His wisdom and timing, not solely through our efforts.

Think About This:

1. Are there areas in your life where you struggle to fully trust God’s plan?
2. How can you actively commit your daily tasks to the Lord?
3. What changes might occur when you align your endeavors with God’s will?

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I commit my plans, dreams, and daily works to You. Help me to trust in Your guidance and wisdom. May my thoughts and actions align with Your will, and may Your peace rule in my heart as I rely on You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Closing Verse:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)
