Peace to you my brothers and sisters.
Today’s Bible Verse: [Proverbs 16:3 KJV] Commit thy works unto the LORD, and
thy thoughts shall be established.
Commit: גָּלַל gâlal, gaw-lal'; a primitive root; to roll (literally or
figuratively):—commit, remove, roll (away, down, together), run down, seek
occasion, trust, wallow.
Your (thy) works: מַעֲשֶׂה maʻăseh, mah-as-eh'; from H6213; an action (good or
bad); generally, a transaction; abstractly, activity; by implication, a product
(specifically, a poem) or (generally) property:—act, art, bakemeat, business,
deed, do(-ing), labor, thing made, ware of making, occupation, thing offered,
operation, possession, × well, (handy-, needle-, net-) work(ing, -manship),
wrought.
Committing or rolling your works, or burdens, to God is asking God for His help
because you cannot complete them without His help. In this we recognize that we
cannot do anything without God.
We ask God for help through prayer.
Your (thy) thoughts: מַחֲשָׁבָה machăshâbâh, makh-ash-aw-baw'; or מַחֲשֶׁבֶת
machăshebeth; from H2803; a contrivance, i.e. (concretely) a texture, machine,
or (abstractly) intention, plan (whether bad, a plot; or good, advice):—cunning
(work), curious work, device(-sed), imagination, invented, means, purpose,
thought.
Shall be established: כּוּן kûwn, koon; a primitive root; properly, to be erect
(i.e. stand perpendicular); hence (causatively) to set up, in a great variety
of applications, whether literal (establish, fix, prepare, apply), or
figurative (appoint, render sure, proper or prosperous):—certain(-ty), confirm,
direct, faithfulness, fashion, fasten, firm, be fitted, be fixed, frame, be
meet, ordain, order, perfect, (make) preparation, prepare (self), provide, make
provision, (be, make) ready, right, set (aright, fast, forth), be stable, (e-)
stablish, stand, tarry, × very deed.
Your desires will be done; but, this is only if these desires are for the Glory
of God. Specifically, if they fall within; (1) love the LORD your God with all
your heart, all your soul, and all of your might, and (2) love your neighbor as
yourself, then your desires will be granted.
To sum it all up, if your desires presented to God in prayer are for His glory
then they will be done.
Go forth and spread this good news.
I hope this has been a blessing to you. May the rest of your day be blessed. Peace.
