The Way Ahead

“Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)

What do you hope to achieve in the future, and how will you accomplish it? In order to make plans, you have first to establish your mission or purpose in life and then commit it to the Lord for guidance, strength, and all the resources you will require. When we commit our plans to Him, we lay the burden of our success on Him, in accordance to His divine will. That way we live in joy and contentment rather than anxiety and discouragement, because we know that whatever happens will be for the good.

God is the only one who can complete the good work He started in us (Philippians 1:6). We need to incorporate our faith in everything we do. Our greatest ambition should be to please God.
