Proverbs 16:3
_ _ (Compare Margin). Rely on God for success to your lawful purposes. |
Proverbs 16:3
_ _ Note, 1. It is a very desirable thing to have our thoughts established, and not tossed, and put into a hurry, by disquieting cares and fears, — to go on in an even steady course of honesty and piety, not disturbed, or put out of frame, by any event or change, — to be satisfied that all shall work for good and issue well at last, and therefore to be always easy and sedate. 2. The only way to have our thoughts established is to commit our works to the Lord. The great concerns of our souls must be committed to the grace of God, with a dependence upon and submission to the conduct of that grace (2 Timothy 1:12); all our outward concerns must be committed to the providence of God, and to the sovereign, wise, and gracious disposal of that providence. Roll thy works upon the Lord (so the word is); roll the burden of thy care from thyself upon God. Lay the matter before him by prayer. Make known thy works unto the Lord (so some read it), not only the works of thy hand, but the workings of thy heart; and then leave it with him, by faith and dependence upon him, submission and resignation to him. The will of the Lord be done. We may then be easy when we resolve that whatever pleases God shall please us. |
Proverbs 16:3
Commit — Refer all thy actions and concerns to God, as the end of them, and depend upon God's providence for success. Established — Thy designs shall be brought to an happy issue. |
