“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed” (16:3). What are you planning to do today and this week? What do you have in the diary? In an average week, how much do you consciously involve God in your various activities. Our default setting in life is to do things independently of God, so you must be intentional about living dependently. You probably have a social engagement to attend sometime soon. Have you ever prayed that God would bless you to be a blessing in those situations? You probably have work tasks to complete. How often do you pray over what you do? God wants to bless your work and prosper you in what you do. He wants to make you fruitful in every situation. He wants you to be a blessing to your workplace and in every social situation. The possibilities are endless if you involve God in your life. You will see things more clearly, you will appreciate people more and you will be more thankful for what God has given so far. You will be more content and peaceful in all your activities. You will be generally more calm and therefore better able to make good decisions. If you ask God, he will give you great wisdom to navigate the complexities of life. If you ask God, he will give you patience for those exasperating situations. You can live like this from this very moment if you want. Why live any other way?
Commit to the Lord all your plans for today.
Read Proverbs 16:1-8
