Title: What Are Your Plans, Hopes, and Dreams?
Text:
Proverbs 16:3 (HCSB)
3 Commit your activities to the LORD, and your plans will be achieved.
Observation:
I started this week with the title of today's message on my heart, and here it is near the end of the week and it is still with me. I read this verse first thing this morning, and it found a place in my heart.
The first word in the verse, commit, caused me to pause, and meditate upon it. There is an app that I use called Roll-It-Up. It is a neat tool for managing your email inbox.
I listened to a devotional this morning based on our focal verse, and it said that to commit is to roll your plans up to God. I immediately made the connection with what I do each day with my email inbox.
I commit now to rolling my plans, hopes, and dreams up to the Lord because He is much more able to carry these cares on His shoulders.
In conclusion, I go back to the verses I started the week with, and I will commit my activities to the Lord, and rest in knowing that He will give me the desires of my heart as I take delight in the Lord.
Psalm 37:4-5 (HCSB)
4 Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you your heart's desires.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act,
Prayer:
Father God, hallowed be Your name. Father, I thank You for being a God who hears and answers the prayers of His people.
Father, thank You for speaking into my heart this morning the need to cast all of my cares upon You. Father, there is no place I would rather have my plans reside then in the hands of my God. Father, I will daily roll them up to You. In the might name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
