I want to share an experience I had this week which I hope will give you a deeper understanding of our foundational scripture which says in part, ".....God will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will." (Proverbs 16:3 AMPC)
On Monday David and I had to take care of some business that we were believing would go well for us. The appointment wasn't until 12:30 so we had all morning to wait. About 10:30 I said to him, "We need to pray specifically for our afternoon. We held hands and prayed, turning the appointment over to God and asking Him or orchestrate everything according to His plan. After we were done, I said to David that God was already at the place where we needed to go and He was lining everything up--administrating the staff and organizing everything.
When we arrived everything went like clockwork. It was one of those hurry up and wait kind of situations. We arrived early and they took us early. When does that ever happen?? Besides that, we had unusual favor. Several staff members made sure we had everything we needed. It was like we were the only ones in the world that they had to take care of. The rest of our Proverbs 16:3 scripture says that if we roll our works (our plans) upon the Lord, we will be "established" in peace. Instead of fretting and worrying and creating negative drama, we experienced God working on our behalf. We drove home with a smile on our face completely satisfied that God had gone before us and taken care of everything--in our favor.
If you haven't actually put Proverbs 16:3 into practice yet, I encourage you to try it. Pray it every day until and watch what happens. God is faithful to His promises!
Here you go:
Proverbs 16:3 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
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.
God bless your day!
