Commit Your Work to the Lord

Commit your work to the Lord,and your plans will be established. Proverbs 16:3 (ESV)

If we completely depend upon God in our work, He will “establish” our plans. That is, He will “bring about” or “cause to happen” our plans.

We can expect God to bring our work to fruition in God’s way and in God’s time when we depend on Him in our efforts.

Part of committing our work to God, of course, is seeking and following God’s will; when our work aligns with God’s will, then success will follow.

When we commit our ways and our work to the Lord, He will bless our efforts according to His perfect will in ways beyond our understanding.

We should serve the Lord faithfully and then leave the results to Him. Though we will still face times of difficulty, we can trust that God is working for His ultimate good—and ours—through our efforts to please Him in our daily vocation.
