“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” Proverbs 16:3 (ESV)
The word commit here, when translated from the original Hebrew, means to “roll unto the Lord”. We are called to seek God’s divine assistance with all of our burdens — physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, and so on. God desires to be our rock and our strong tower no matter what circumstance we are facing. When we commit our burdens to the Lord our “plans will be established” — or will prosper — because we will have aligned our thoughts with God’s will. Today we may be experiencing more burdens than usual due to the worldwide health and financial crisis caused by the coronavirus. Now, more than ever, we need to put our trust in God and God alone to help us carry those burdens. Fellow mankind, governments, and even charities can only offer mild support or temporary relief at best, whereas God can take away your anxiety and carry your burdens for you as He bestows His peace which surpasses all understanding. Have you trusted Him as your God? Have you given Him your burdens?
