Verse of the Day: Commit Everything to Him
- 2 Comment
4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires. 5 Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.
Psalm 37:4-5 (NLT)
From the Life Application Bible:
David calls us to delight in the Lord and to commit everything we have and do to him. But how do we do this? To delight in someone means to experience great pleasure and joy in his or her presence. This happens only when we know that person well. Thus, to delight in the Lord, we must know him better. Knowledge of God’s great love for us will indeed give us delight.
To commit ourselves to the Lord means entrusting everything – our lives, families, jobs, possessions – to his control and guidance. To commit ourselves to the Lord means to trust in him (37:5), believing that he can care for us better than we can ourselves. We should be willing to wait patiently (37:7) for him to work out what is best for us.

Sometimes, it seems like you should be committing to some other things like school and business if you want to succeed, so the thought of committing to God and his work sometimes seems counter-productive. It’s hard because the post is essentially saying you don’t need a balance, you need to steer directly into the Lord’s path.
