Proverbs 16:3: Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established."
The past few weeks this verse has been in my head because I now understand it more fully now that I've seen it worked out practically in a Christian's life. When you find yourself in a situation which you wish you weren't in, or if you have an unlikeable task to do, it is so easy to complain about the circumstance. But instead, focus on looking for the good, looking for the blessings God gives daily, and offering thanksgiving to the Lord. When you commit, give, your actions to the Lord, even if you don't feel good about it at the moment, God will change your heart and your thoughts will eventually be in the right place. I was just reading the other morning in Psalms and came across this verse which I think goes along with Proverbs 16:3.
Psalm 119:133: "Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me."
What a good prayer. Each one of us as God's child should desire to walk according to God's word and be constantly vigilant lest sin should have power over us.
I pray you're encouraged to immerse yourself in the truth of Scripture this week, and purpose to commit your actions to the Lord so your thoughts will be correct.

Perfectly said, Ashley. All our works should always be dedicated to God and His glory.

I was just praying so earnestly earlier over a situation in my life, & I told the Lord something along this line, "I don't know what I want. I don't know what's best. I want what YOU want." I have come to learn that that is the place I must get to in prayer in order to see victory & breakthrough—to the point where I just throw up my hands in surrender & say from the heart, "I want what YOU want, Lord." Your sweet blog post went right along with my thoughts today. God bless you, sweet friend.
