Commit to God

3 

Commit your actions to the Lord,
     and your plans will succeed.

4 

The Lord has made everything for his own purposes,
     even the wicked for a day of disaster.

Verse 3

When we pray, we should give our plans to God. We ask God to bring about the best result. We cannot control our own plans. We do not even know what will happen tomorrow. See James 4:13.

Verse 4

A man’s plan may succeed, or it may fail. God’s plans will always succeed. God can use an animal (Numbers 22:21-28). Or God can use a stone (Luke 3:8). Or God can even use a foreign king (Ezra 1:1).

God can use evil people to punish other evil people. God used King Nebuchadnezzar to punish the nation of Judah (Daniel 1:1-2).

Today's first proverb repeats the message from yesterday's verse in a slightly different way. If you commit your plans to God and let God guide you, your plans will succeed.

Verse 4 tells us that even though we may not understand why God allows bad things to happen, we can still trust that God is in control. We might not see everything clearly, but we have seen God's actions in the past, so we trust Him.

Let me ask you: Whenever you plan your day, even if you expect it to be uneventful, pray that your plans align with God's plans.
