3 Commit (Literally ROLL) your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him],
And your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance]. Proverbs 16:3, Amplified Bible
2 A person thinks all his ways are pure,
but the Lord weighs motives. (Check your motives, wrong motives can be a hindrance)
3 Entrust your efforts to the Lord,
and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16, God’s Word Bible
2 Humans are satisfied with whatever looks good;
God probes for what is good.
3 Put God in charge of your work,
then what you’ve planned will take place. Proverbs 16, The Message Bible
The same verse in three different versions of the scripture, perhaps God will speak to some of us more through one of these different texts. We all do something and of course we want it to be successful, but perhaps we should involve God more in what we’re doing. God may be calling some today to give over the reins to Him and allow Him to direct the coach for a while. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do anything but to make sure that He’s the one directing and we’re following His lead. The Father always knows best, although the Flesh strives to remain in control. Take some time today to ponder these scriptures and affirm to God that you need His input in every area. He is more than able to help us when we’ll let Him.
5-8 Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life! Proverbs 3 The Message Bible
May God bless and guide you today as you seek His direction.
23 Then you will know that I am the Lord;
those who hope in me will not be disappointed.’ Isaiah 49
Immanuel, God is with us.
