Activites Vs. Plans

Commit your activities to the Lord and your plans will be achieved.

Proverbs 16:3

The way this verse is worded is so interesting. It doesn't say commit your plans to the Lord and your activities will succeed. It says commit your activities to the Lord. This is so good for wherever we are. I may not be where my plans (or in another translation says desires) are but the promise is if I commit whatever I have before me to do (housework, homeschooling, praying, singing, driving, changing babies, bills etc etc. . .) to the Lord God my plans or desires will be achieved. That is awesome! God I commit everything I do to you. I will show you that I am committing it to you, not only by doing it excellently for Your Glory, but by singing and praying as I go about my day. Doing so will turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. My plans and desires you have put into my heart WILL be achieved in the Name of Jesus, Amen.

The reflections of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.

Proverbs 16:1 & 9
