VERSE:
"Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of
your cause like the noonday sun."
-- Psalm 37:5-6
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Psalm+37:5-6
THOUGHT:
How much do you trust the Lord? Better yet, how much of yourself
have you entrusted to the Lord? We have focused the last several
days on the promised blessings the Lord longs to give us. Yet in
his wisdom, God has chosen to make the release of many of these
blessings dependent upon our trust in him and our asking of him. As
long as we grip the steering wheel of our life, it is hard to let
God take us in the direction of his blessing and his will. I saw a
bumper sticker recently that put it this way: "If God is your
co-pilot then you had better switch seats!" Committing our way to
the Lord is offering our lives to him to do his work, to receive
his blessing, and to know his presence. So what are you waiting
for?
PRAYER:
Holy, Righteous, and Almighty God, everything is yours except
the hearts of men and women. You have chosen that these will be
yours only if we choose to voluntarily and lovingly commit them to
you. Dear Father, I want to commit my way -- my heart, my life, my
future, my abilities, my wealth, my family... -- to you. I want to
be used by you for your glory. I trust that you love me and long to
give me your blessing along with your grace and salvation. I love
you and thank you in Jesus' name. Amen.
