Human Response 768: Commit Your Way to the Lord and Trust

Psalm 37:5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.

Our response to the presence and promises of God is to commit our life and our future to the Lord. Trust Him to make your way straight, right, and good for you. Believe that His will for you and His path for your life is far better than your own thoughts and ideas. Let go and let God. We pray: “Thy will be done on earth (in my life) as it is in heaven (already determined by God).

Committing your way is surrendering your life, your self, your plans, and your will to the Lord. Trust Him to “lead you in the paths of righteousness” into green pastures and beside still waters. He won’t steer you wrong, for He is your good shepherd. It takes God-given faith to place your life totally in His hands, letting Him work out all things together for good. A lot is going on in the response “commit your way.”
