Title: Entrust everything / Proverbs 16:1-9
Entrust everything / Proverbs 16:1-9
Key Verse: “Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will come to pass” (Proverbs 16:3).
Word: Many people think their life is theirs. In some respects, you may be right to think so. But for those who have dedicated themselves to God, ‘my life is not mine’. I overlook this point and the problem arises in my making all the plans and decisions. There are many cases where I do what I want when I say that I do God's will. There are times when it is God's will and hides the glory of God. God is only a means to receive blessings, not an object of worship or everything I am. And I wish you God's blessing.
This is the ‘relief view of reliefism’. Those who truly believe in God establish God in their heart. Living according to God's will in everything is the right attitude of faith for the saints. Man makes plans, but the Lord decides (v. 1). Even if we think that we are doing well or that everything seems to be going well in the eyes of others, God sees in our hearts. I should not take everything by saying that only words acknowledge God's sovereignty and only words say that God is Lord. It is not acceptable to God to be arrogant in heart (verse 5) or to accumulate wealth unrighteously (verse 8). It is written that even though the unrighteous person seems to be doing well right now, He made them into people who will suffer from disaster on the day of disaster. If you love God with a true heart, your sins are forgiven. If you fear the Lord, you will avoid disaster.
If you entrust all things to the Lord, all your thoughts will come true (verse 3). When I cast my burdens on the Lord, God will sustain me and keep me from being shaken forever (Psalm 55:22). Plan every little thing for God's glory and seek Jehovah God's decision. Leave everything to God if He allows it. It is God who accomplishes each one.
God works together for good. There is no need for us to panic that God can do everything. What a solid background. Plan for the glory of God and trust Him to make it happen. And we just have to give thanks to God who works in peace.
Leave everything to the Lord. That way is the way to stand right before God.
Prayer: Grant me the faith to entrust everything. Don't let me be the master, and let me always live according to God's will. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
