You Can Get There From Here

Day 3  Commit and Trust   

Here’s our foundational scripture from Day 1: 

Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; 

He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] 

so shall your plans be established and succeed.

Proverbs 16:3Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

Let’s picture for a minute how things operate in the business world. There’s the CEO and under that position are the Department Heads. Each Department Head has a team of marketing people to promote the company’s products. The CEO assigns the Department Head to come up with a marketing campaign for a certain product line. He or she brainstorms with the team until they reach what they think is a successful plan. When all the details are complete, the Department Head shows it to the CEO for final approval. The CEO says one of three things—

This plan isn’t going to work. 

This is a good plan but let’s tweak a few things to make it better.

This is a great plan—let’s go with it.

You can easily apply this process to your unique, daily life no matter what you are doing. It works for the stay-at-home parent as well as for a person in a high governmental office.  Each person submits their plan for approval by praying, “Father, I roll the plan I have upon You. I commit and trust it completely to you. Please cause my thoughts to become agreeable to Your will so that I can be established and succeed today.”

Isaiah 28:29 (NIV)  God is wonderful and His plans are magnificent. 

Psalms 73: 24 (NIV)  God guides me with His counsel.

Psalms 16:7 (NIV) It’s the Lord who guides me. Even at night, my heart instructs me.
