Morning, September 12th
Read: Proverbs 16:3
Behind this promise is a very simple question: How do I define success for my plans? The answer is also very simple: to praise God for His grace (cf. Eph. 1:6, 12, 14). When we give our works and plans to God, we give them over to God's will (James 4:13–15), trust that God will be glorified through them (Col. 3:17), and realize that we can't control our own steps (Prov. 16:9). God wants to bless us and give us power, but not for our own selfish reasons (James 3:16), but for our eternal good (Romans 8:28) and God's glory. When we give our plans and work to the Lord, we say, "Not my will, Father, but Yours be done," just like Jesus did.
Prayer
Father, I want to do what You want. I want to work toward Your glory. I want to do certain things. But if these plans aren't for Your glory or aren't good for my family or those I have power over, then please stop me from doing them and lead me to other ways I can bless others. I want what I do to bring glory to You. I want to follow Your grace wherever it goes. I give You my ways, my plans, and all the things I do. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
