Commit Your Way To The Lord
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take
delight in the Lord, and he will
give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like
the noonday sun.
Be still
before the Lord and wait
patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they
carry out their wicked schemes.
Psalm 37:3-7
The Lord
makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though
he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord
upholds him with his hand.
Psalm 37:23-24
At times we
want desperately to know exactly what God wants us to do which job to take.
Praying for guidance and reading the Bible may not reveal specific answers. But
one answer is clear: We are to trust in the Lord, take delight in Him, and
commit our way to Him.
God usually
gives us the freedom of choice if we first seek to put His ways before our
own. That means dropping choices that are plainly wrong or would not please
Him. It might be something immoral, ungodly, or unhelpful toward our
relationship with Him. If the remaining options please God, then were free to
choose from them. Our loving Father wants to give us the desires of our hearts
hearts that take delight in Him.
Do your decisions please God?
