Word: Proverbs 16:1-7
[1] The plans of the heart belong to men, but the answer of a word comes from the LORD.
[2] All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord searches the soul.
[3] Commit your deeds to the LORD, and your plans will come to pass.
[4] The LORD hath made all things for a covering, even the wicked for the day of evil.
[5] The LORD hates everyone who is proud in heart; even if they hold hands, they will not escape punishment.
[6] By mercy and truth iniquity is made atonement, and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.
[7] If a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Humans are created to be trustworthy. But in this world there is no place to trust. However, we can find the answer in the Bible. Psalm 37:5 says, "Commit your way to the Lord. Trust in him, and he will do it." The road I'm talking about here is the whole journey of life. It speaks of all that the journey can have an impact, plans and actions, and its consequences. To entrust means to 'throw it up to God. It means 'to surrender'. It's about entrusting all your life's problems entirely to God. It is said that if you leave it to God and depend on it, the way will be opened. As we seek out who God is to whom we should entrust everything, we earnestly pray for wisdom and grace at this time.
▶ He is the God who answers first.
Verse 1 says, "The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of a word comes from the Lord." Giving up is easy. However, trusting it is not easy. The answer lies in the Lord means that God asserts the success or failure of our lives because He has absolute sovereignty and power. I can plan and think about it. But the results are not my own. Success and fulfillment belong to God. If you trust and trust, God will take care of you.
▶ He is the second God who inspects.
Verse 2 says, "All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord searches the soul." Everyone has a habit of rationalizing themselves. But the text is that when you are before God, you will be revealed in every detail. It means that God knows everything, sees everything, and evaluates everything. He created me, knows me, and sees me, so he can entrust everything without hesitation. I earnestly pray that you will be able to do everything in the presence of the Lord with faith.
▶He is the third God who leads.
Verse 9 says, “A man plans his way in his heart, but the Lord directs his steps.” If God is not with us, the work will become a big problem. However, even great things will become very small if God is with them. If God is with you and guides you, great things will become smaller, long distances will come closer, mortal diseases will be healed, and even despair will become hope. The problem is my decisions and decisions. It is up to me to choose whether to entrust it or not.
