Proverbs 16: ³ Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

 

Commit to the Lord, and He will establish. Two big words there commit, and establish. If we put the effort into our part, the Lord will come through in spades. But notice that the action, the work, the first step, comes from us. Commit what we do to the Lord. Commit. not promise, not think about, not intend to, or just associate with. Commit what we do to the Lord. Commit, as in "all in". When we commit something to memory, it is not just there for a day or two, it stays with us. When we commit to a project we sign up for the duration. It is very much like the chicken and the pig when it comes to breakfast…… The chicken is associated, the pig is committed. So we have to ask ourselves are we committing our tasks, our undertakings, our very lives to the Lord? If you want to be successful in this life and the next then the answer is a resounding yes! Now let me be clear here. Fully committing to the Lord will not make you perfect, it will not mean that you will do, or that you have to do everything perfect. You won’t, more to the point you can’t. The Lord knows that. Intent goes a long way with the Lord. Are you making the effort? And if you are, do you know what God will do for you? He will establish your plans. Here again that big word establish. Do you understand the difference between established plans, and new plans? The difference between establish, and prepare, or even hope? When God establishes something, it is done. It is fulfilled, it is permanent. The world cannot change it, the world cannot take it away. A plan that is established by God, already has all of the key players in place, lined out, and ready to roll. It is there for you to seize, in the name of the Lord. You will be successful, why, because when you are committed to the Lord, He is successful when you are successful! You are successful when you are with the Lord. See the connection? Your plans will not just be dreams, they will not just be hopes, they will be established. I want you to think of that just for a moment. Your plans will be established. Why would you not want that? Who would not want that? And here it is, just waiting for you to grab it, this is the moment, the point in time where you define the moment or it defines you. Will you commit to the Lord whatever you do? Grab the success, grab the promise, accept the grace and the peace. Commit to the Lord, and see His commitment to you overflow your cup.
