"Commit your work to the Lord, then it will succeed."

~ Proverbs 16:3 LAB

*

Bible Commentary:  "There are different ways to fail to commit our work to the Lord. Some commit their work only superficially. They say the project is being done for the Lord, but in reality they are doing it for themselves. Others tend to give God temporary control of their interests, only to take control back the moment things stop going the way they expect. Still others commit their task fully to the Lord, then put forth no effort themselves. They wonder why they do not experience success. We must maintain a delicate balance:  trusting God as if everything depended on him, while working as if everything depended on us. Think of a specific effort in which you are involved right now. Have you committed it to the Lord?"
