It’s a New Beginning (III)

It’s a New Beginning (III)

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5 [KJV]

Bible Reading: Proverbs 3:1-10

Today’s Bible reading reminds us of another victual for the journey:  Commit your ways unto God. This means to “completely give something over to God while depending on Him” or “offering everything unto God”. It involves seeking God’s guidance through His word and in prayers concerning everything in our lives. God has promised to instruct, teach, and counsel us (Psalm 32:8). In all that you desire and do this year, commit it all to God. He knows what tomorrow holds and He sees the end from the beginning.

Also, God’s thoughts towards you are of peace and not of evil to give you and expected end (Jeremiah 29:11). Take the time to know His thoughts concerning you by studying His word(Psalm 119:11), seek Him in prayers continually (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18), love the Lord with all your heart and seek first His kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 22:37-38; Matthew 6:33). Write your plans and diligently work them out. Trust God to lead you for it is God that is at work in you both to will and to do for His purpose (Philippians 2:13). Don’t take the glory when your prayers are answered. Acknowledge Him before the world. Dear friends, turn it all to God, let Him lead you into His plan because “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God” (1 Corinthians 2:9-10).

Action Point: Commit your plans to God daily

Daily Confession: I choose to trust God in the journey of this year. I decree that all will be well in Jesus’ name.

Intercessory prayer: Prayer for students as they return to school for God’s protection upon them. Pray for their teachers and parents for wisdom and provision.

Hymn: Through the love of God our Saviour,

All will be well.

Free and changeless is his favour,

All, all is well.

Precious is the blood that healed us,

Perfect is the grace that sealed us,

Strong the hand stretched forth to shield us,

All must be well.
