Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
In simple English, Friends that just means commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out, cause it’s so logical. But whoever said we were logical creatures eh? If we were, most of the senseless turmoil and destruction happening today would not be taking place, neither would we be talking about committing our plans to the Lord, cause we would be doing that automatically since He promised long ago, ‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you…thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.’ (Jer.29:11) That means He has good plans for us. Why then are we so reluctant to go to Him with our plans? If He’s our Leader, we ought to do what He directs us to do, and if perchance we come up with any bright ideas of our own we should run them by Him first, to ensure that they live up to His high standards and would enhance His reputation, not sully it. A Leader’s job is to guide, consult and advise; things that will enable us to do a stellar job in accordance with the purpose and direction of the organization. And Jesus’ purpose is to bring sinners to Him through a philosophy of LOVE, with us as the catalyst; living the lifestyle and spreading His Word of LOVE. But due to the enemy’s prowess at dissuasion, and our own sinful lusts for the pleasures of the world, our job becomes harder and we’re constantly tempted to do things on our own, without consulting our Leader. Friends, that’s a tragic mistake, which usually ends in severe disappointment. In Psalm 37:4-5, Bruh David advises us to delight ourselves in the Lord, and He will give us the desires of our hearts. ‘Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.’ He also says in Psalm 55:22; ‘Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.’ It just makes a lot of sense people; common sense, to talk to the Lord about our plans before trying to implement them on our own, cause that’s a path strewn with frustration and failure. Now would we just get up and initiate a project without seeking advice from someone who’s had experience in that particular field? I doubt it. So it’s sensible to talk to earthly experts in a field before getting into it. Well you know what people? As believers, we’ve got the expert of experts at our beck and call; 24-7. Since He made everything, He’s the expert on it all. So whom better to talk to eh? Especially since we’re supposed to be working for Him. Yes Friends, I’m sure if we all looked back at our lives we can find several instances where, if we’d consulted the Lord before making a decision to proceed with a project, we’d have saved ourselves a lot of heartache and disappointment. But that’s the nature of the beast: We’ve been given choice and freewill, so we figure we know best and are too proud to consult with Our Maker, who wants us to lead a prosperous life. But Friends, we can’t receive it unless we work hand in hand with Him. That’s all He’s asking. And if we’re smart, we’ll do just that, cause He’s the Leader, the Father, and He knows what’s best for us. So let’s be sensible, safe and not sorry; talk to Him first before we make any decisions nuh. Much LOVE!…before doing anything…always…always…always…talk to your Heavenly Father…FIRST…
