Proverbs 16:3

(Proverbs 16:3. The Amplified Bible)
'Roll your works upon the Lord - commit and trust them
wholly to Him; [He will cause your thoughts to become
agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be
established and succeed.'

Right now you may be on the edge of a major
decision...about to make a change in your job or your
church or your personal life. You know you need
divine guidance. And you're hoping desperately to
hear from the Lord.

If that's your situation, don't panic. Being led by
the Lord isn't some complicated process that only the
spiritual 'pros' can master.

I found that out years ago when I was a new believer.
I wanted to live in a way that was pleasing to God,
but I didn't know how to make decisions that were in
line with His will.

Then one day as I was studying The Amplified Bible, I
came across Proverbs 16:3. Immediately, I latched
onto this verse and began to use it in my life - and I
can tell you now from experience, it works!

It will work for you too if you'll do what it says.
Roll your works over on God, commit your ways to Him,
trust them wholly to Him. He'll start adjusting your
thoughts to be like His until, at some point, you'll
just know the right thing to do. Of course, faith is
involved. One of the requirements is trust, and you
won't be able to do that without feeding on God's
Word. Then as you practice rolling your works upon
the Lord and trusting Him, you become more confident
in your ability to hear. Start now with whatever
problem is bothering you. Pray and trust God with it.
In other words, believe you recieve when you pray.
Stop worrying and begin believing.

Learn to live this way and it doesn't matter whether
you've been a Christian 30 minutes or 30 years, your
plans shall be established and succeed!
