"ROLLING WITH THE LORD!"‏

Scriptural Focus: Proverbs 16:3
 The writer of 29 chapters of Proverbs is King Solomon. King Solomon is recorded as being one of the wisest men to ever live. In his many writings, Solomon expresses the true essence of what God expects from His followers, as well as providing wisdom and encouragement for our daily walk with the Lord. Today’s passage is a great example of the wisdom that Solomon provides to all followers of the Christian faith. Proverbs 16:3 states,“Commit your works unto the LORD, and your thoughts will be established.”
 This passage is very compelling. The word “Commit,” is derived from the original Hebrew word, “Galal.”Galal means to “actively roll with or upon.” In essence, the believer should roll all of our cares, concerns, and our daily works, whether professional, personal and of course spiritual things upon the Lord. Please note that the concern is not merely the course of our life that Solomon focuses on. But, rather the intent and the actions of our deeds performed. In other words, we should place every aspect of our daily lives upon the shoulders of the Lord Jesus Christ because He cares for us! (1 Peter 5:7)
 Brothers and Sisters in the faith, when we strive diligently to do those things that please God, first within our minds and then secondly in the application of our actions, it is then that God begins to entrust us with more blessings and more abundance. When we fail to do those things consistently, then we suffer the effects of detachment in our fellowship with Christ and we live life in a vacuum of disarray, disenchantment and eventually depression. But, when we trust God with everything, our thoughts are consistently being established within He who made us. This eventually leads to peace of mind, joy within our hearts and a resolute demeanor that is positioned and rooted within the Lord. So, if you need another means of transportation, I challenge each of us today to start, “Rolling with the Lord!”
 Prayer: “Dear Lord, how excellent is thy name! God forgive us for any thoughts, deeds or actions that have been contrary to your Word. We thank you for your goodness, mercy, grace and kindness towards us. But, most of all we thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ. Today, we ask humbly for your direction. Please quicken our spirits to think more of you and less or ourselves. Allow us to seek you in every decision and situation that we encounter in life. As we “roll” our every thought and action upon your strong shoulders, we acknowledge our weakness and glory in your strength. Let today be the beginning of a new way of thinking and we pray that our actions are pleasing to you. It is in the wonderful name of the one who died for our sins and was raised in matchless victory. In Jesus Christ name we pray. Amen.”
 Yours in Christ,
