Commit your actions to the Lord
Proverbs 16:3 (NLT) “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.”
Everyone wants to be successful at something. But everyone’s view or method of becoming successful is not the same. Some do nothing and expect success to drop into their laps because they are a good person. Others understand that nothing happens without work and effort. Some work very hard to become wealthy, but the problem with that method is that their judgment gets skewed into a place of not having enough.
God wants you to trust Him in every aspect of your life. That includes committing your actions to His purpose. You are not working for God because He needs it for Himself. God doesn’t need anything to feel fulfilled. He wants you to be part of His bigger plan and purpose in spreading the Gospel to everyone so that everyone who believes will be part of His Kingdom. If your actions align with His purpose and plan, He blesses your plans to make sure you succeed.
Sometimes it is hard to commit your actions to the Lord. You want and desire certain things. Such as a new car, a new house, new clothes, a better job, time to travel, and lots of money in the bank. Would you be surprised if I told you that God doesn’t mind you having those things, as long as they don’t come between you and serving God? Jesus said it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. The reason is that it is hard for a rich man to give up their possessions to serve the Lord. A rich person trusts only in what they have, which can lead to idolatry.
In everything you do, put God first. Seek Him for guidance, direction, wisdom, and knowledge. When God knows that you purpose in your heart to follow Him and to spread the Gospel, He will make sure you have all the resources you need because He knows you are good stewards over His resources.
Be Blessed!
