The Proverbs 16:3 Work Ethic

Hey everyone,

Today's blog will be quick, but hopefully effective.

Proverbs 16:3 says "Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established."

We are not told that if we do this only good things will happen, or that we will have great gain, or wealth. We are told our thoughts will be established. The Lord will begin to fill our minds with His will, and we will begin to act out our thoughts which have been established through the Spirit.

In other words, if we are truly, really and truly committing our works to Him, seeking His guidance, and not working out of a spirit of selfishness, laziness, any sort of gain, or half-heartedness, the Spirit of God will establish our thoughts which, in turn, will guide us and allow us to do the works in which His will and blessings await us. Our thoughts will become arranged by Him. Who are you committed to in what you do each day? Who do you serve? Who do you work for? Why do you do what you do? You may be suprised at the outcome...
