Psalm 37:5: Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
“Commit thy way unto the Lord.” Many Christians criticize and find fault with God—they have not committed their way to the Lord. “Trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” Give God time. He will work things out in your life. God is good, my friend. The heathen concept of God is as a terrible Being. Their idols are hideous. Many Christians view God that way. They think of Him as sort of a villain who will turn on you at any moment. He never will—He is your Friend. He loves you. He wants to save you, but you have to commit your way to Him. 1
Living the Transformed Life
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. Hebrews 11:13–16
- Commit your disappoint to Him and trust Him, His word will encourage you today.
- Commit your fear of failure to Him and trust Him, He will lift you up with wisdom.
- Commit your unbelief to Him and trust Him, He will strengthen you in faith.
Commitment is the action of your will, responding to the truth in your heart. – TWEET IT
