You Can Get There....Part 2

Day 17  (Please read Day 16 first!)

Proverbs 16:3 (AMP) says that if we do the first part of the verse, two things happen. 

Our thoughts will become agreeable to God’s will. 

We become established and we succeed. (YAY!)

Okay, what’s the first part of the verse?? What do we have to do??  “Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him…..”  Another version of the Bible uses the word “plans.” Commit and trust your plans to God….

On Day 16 we talked about a child’s maze. At the beginning of the day, you are standing at the “You Are Here” spot. As you walk through the day you are searching for the simplest way to reach “The Finish Line.” If you are filled with dread and anxiety when you wake up, you may stand at or around the “You Are Here” spot all day. Or maybe you say to yourself, “I got this God. I know what I am doing.” 

You set out to do it and before you know it you hit a dead end. You turn around and go back and try another route only to have the same thing happen as you set out on your own. Do you recognize what I am saying? I sure do because before applying Proverbs 16:3 it was easy to waste time in a frustrating spot.

But not so much anymore! Now I try to make it a habit to begin each day in prayer-- committing my plans to the One who knows exactly what my day should look like. He knows the easiest, most productive ways of doing everything.

How sweet it is to close my eyes at night and say, “God, thank You for this most amazing day.”
