Rely on God and God Will Accomplish It—Gospel Reflection on Proverbs 16:3

Proverbs 16:3

“Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.”

Reflection

This verse tells us we should rely on God in all things. Whether the matters are great or small, we should entrust them to God and look up to Him, because God holds sovereignty over everything and there is nothing difficult if we rely on God. However, in reality, when we encounter difficulties, we don’t first come before God to pray or search, rather, we plan this or that for our selfish desires.As a result, we take detours, always fail, and cannot see God’s blessings. When we pray to God sincerely, commit our real difficulties to Him, and put aside our selfish desires and intentions, God will open a way out for us, allowing us to see His great power and authority in experience.

God says, “It’s very simple now: Look upon Me with your heart and your spirit will immediately become strong, you will have a path to practice and I will guide your every step. My word shall be revealed to you at all times and in all places. No matter where or when, or how adverse the environment is, I will show you clearly and My heart shall be revealed to you if you look to Me with your heart; this way you will run down the road ahead and never lose your way.”

“Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”

Happy Are Those Who Trust in God—Gospel Reflection on Proverbs 16:20

Proverbs 16:20

“He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.”

Reflection

This verse tells us that only by keeping God’s teachings can we receive His blessings and whoever trusts in God in all things is the happiest. Recollecting my life of believing in God, I always do things according to my will and seldom think whether I do it according to the Lord’s words or whether the Lord is satisfied with it. When encountering things, I also seldom pray to and rely on God.Therefore, I always cannot feel God’s leadership and blessings.
