Roll Everything
Psalm 34:5 (NLT) “Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him, and He will help you.”
It is amazing to discover something new written in plain sight. I am sure many of you have read this scripture with the understanding that we all need to commit everything we do to the Lord. If you look up the English definition of commit, it means to pledge, bind, or dedicate yourself fully to a person, purpose, or course of action. (Reference: Merriam-Webster). The Hebrew word used for commit is Galal (Strong’s Concordance: H1556, Pronounced “gaw-lal”). The word commit in Hebrew means to roll into or to roll together.
Rolling everything together for the Lord has a deeper perspective because rolling is another way of shaping. When you shape a ball by rolling, you add things externally to conform to a specific shape. You are probably thinking, “How do I ‘roll or shape’ my daily actions for the Lord? I go to work, and I have activities to get done.” Here is an example of how to do it. When you wake up in the morning, before checking your messages on your cell phone or turning on the Television to watch the news, acknowledge God for giving you sleep. Thank Him for letting you hear the alarm clock and wake up in the morning. The fact that you are alive that morning means you have another day to purpose your activities to fulfill God’s purpose, which coincides with your work activities. Ask God for His plan for you today and for guidance on how it fits with your plans. All of this is “rolling and shaping” God’s plan and purpose into your life.
The second part of the scripture commands you to trust God. Trusting God means you are placing your full confidence in Him, resting in Him, and walking in full peace. God is unlimited, and He knows that you have limitations. Having full confidence in Him overjoys Him. King David’s son Solomon wrote a Proverb that parallels this scripture:
Proverbs 3:5,6 (NLT) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
Rolling your plans, activities, thoughts, and desires into God’s plan shapes you into the image that He desires. God will give you the ability to accomplish His plan if you submit and humble yourself to Him.
Be Blessed!
