Daily Devotion: Commit Your Work to the Lord

In a world filled with distractions and uncertainties, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the demands of life. We often chase after our dreams and ambitions, only to find ourselves exhausted and unfulfilled. Yet, Proverbs 16:3 offers us a powerful reminder: "Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established."

What does it mean to commit our work to the Lord? It means recognizing that our efforts are not solely for our gain but are part of a greater purpose. When we surrender our plans to God, we invite His wisdom and guidance into our endeavors. This act of commitment is both an acknowledgment of His sovereignty and a declaration of our trust in Him.

As men, we have the responsibility to lead and provide, but leadership without divine direction can lead to frustration. By committing our work to the Lord, we align our goals with His will. Our plans may change, but His purpose remains steadfast.

Every task, whether big or small, can be an offering to God. In your job, in your relationships, in your personal growth—ask Him to bless your efforts. Seek His guidance in your decisions, and you will find clarity and peace.

Today, take a moment to reflect on your work and your plans. Are they aligned with God’s purpose for your life? Commit them to Him, and watch as He establishes your path, bringing success that glorifies Him. Trust in His timing and provision, knowing that your labor is not in vain when it is dedicated to the Lord.
