Finding Direction in Everyday Life

Takeaway: When we trust God with our plans, He helps us find our way.

Context

Proverbs is a collection of wise sayings, often attributed to King Solomon. It offers practical advice on how to live well and make smart choices. This verse encourages us to take our plans to God, reminding us that He cares about our lives.

Meaning

This verse is all about partnership with God. When we commit our actions to Him, we are inviting Him into our decision-making. It’s like saying, "Hey God, I want your help with this!" This doesn’t mean we sit back and wait for things to happen. Instead, it's about being intentional. We take steps in our lives while trusting that God is guiding us along the way.

Committing our work to God means we are open to His direction. Sometimes, we may think we know what’s best for us, but God sees the bigger picture. He may lead us down unexpected paths. This doesn't mean our plans will always go as we envision. But it does mean we are not alone in our journey.

Live It

1. Write down one goal or plan you have. Spend a few minutes praying about it.
2. Share your worries about a decision with a close friend. Ask for their support and prayer.
3. Each morning this week, dedicate your day to God. Say a quick prayer before you start.

Reflect & Pray

Reflect: What plans or decisions am I holding too tightly? How can I invite God into those areas of my life?
Pray: God, I want to commit my plans to You. Help me trust You with my future. Show me where to go and what to do.
