Shortly after we were married, I was wondering how I could be sure I had the Lord’s mind in what I did each day. The wash needed to be done, and the shopping and cleaning, but how could I be sure I had His will in all that I did? Where should I shop? When should I scrub the tub? And what should I do when my chores were finished?
I mentioned this to my husband, and he pointed out this verse to me. He said that if we commit our works unto the Lord (the things that need to be done that day), He will order and direct our thoughts to the smallest detail. We can go forward counting on Him to allow us to think and plan according to His will.
And so as the day, the week, and even the year lies ahead of us, let’s commit it all to Him and be assured that He will direct our path — even what to make for supper tonight. He knows all we have to do and He loves to walk beside us each step of the day. “Casting ALL your care upon Him; for He careth for you” (1 Pet. 5:7). “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass” (Psa. 37:55Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. (Psalm 37:5)). And so pray, plan, and work! Enjoy your work and do it as unto the Lord.
