Encouragement: Commit your works to the Lord

Today I bring you words and thoughts of encouragement from Proverbs 16:1-9

The intentions of the heart belong to a man,
but the answer of the tongue comes from the Lord.
2 All a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion,
but the Lord evaluates the motives.
3 Commit your works to the Lord,
and your plans will be established.
4 The Lord works everything for its own ends –
even the wicked for the day of disaster.
5 The Lord abhors every arrogant person;
rest assured that they will not go unpunished.
6 Through loyal love and truth iniquity is appeased;
through fearing the Lord one avoids evil.
7 When a person’s ways are pleasing to the Lord,
he even reconciles his enemies to himself.
8 Better to have a little with righteousness
than to have abundant income without justice.
9 A person plans his course,
but the Lord directs his steps.

Proverbs always has good advice. Direct and to the point.

"A person plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps." So often you find this to be the case. You make your plans and you end up taking a path a little different than you planned, still ending up at the destination.

To be aware of God's intervention is so important and then to accept and go with God's ordering. It is not always going to make sense but like I have said before, "We only see a part of the canvas that God is painting, God sees the whole canvas."

Amen
