' Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in Him and He will do this;
Psalm 37 v 5
Whatever way we should go, and whatever works or enterprises we are involved in,committ them to God,it may be a great venture or a small venture,it matters not,commit it all to God,leave nothing to chance.My favourite commentary on the Psalms is by William S.Plumer it is no longer published,and I would like to share with you some of his comments on this verse,.'Trust also in Him,' 'If God favors an enterprise,it will not fail if we build a house ,it will stand.The error against which we are here warnerd is reliance on our own strength or wisdom,The encouragement here given is to renounce all self confidence and to look to God alone, that He will graciously undertake our case, bear our burdens,and accomplish for us that which we could never bring to pass, David had a beautiful illustrtion of the truth here urged, in his coming into full and peaceable possession of the throne'. Remember our way should be His way,then all will be well,if we are in step with God He will guide our footsteps,make sure you are not out of step with God or you may fall flat on your face/He will open doors no one can shut,He will lead us in the right way,and His way is perfect ,He never makes a mistake,He is the perfect guide.
'O let me see Thy footmarks, and in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly is in Thy strength alone.
O guide me,call me,draw me,uphold me to the end;
And then in heaven receive me,my Saviour and my Friend'
Words John E.Bode.
