He Will Help You

Good Morning,

Psalm 37:5 (NRSV)
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.
Psalm 37:5 (NLT)
Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.

I've sometimes wondered why God hasn't done maybe just a bit more in my life when I thought that I kind of needed some help. I questioned God about this, but I didn't question where the fault may lie...in me.

We read today that, like most things, there is a sort of give and take that goes on between us and God. We want God to help and act in our lives? Well, how about we commit our ways, everything we are, to Him first? You think maybe that might make a difference? It certainly seems that way to me...and in my life.

I have to admit that in some ways I don't commit EVERYTHING to the Lord as I should. Probably most of us fall a bit short in this area, as well. We might want to commit everything to the Lord, but we're human beings and there are some things we kind of hold back and keep in our own control. What that "something" we hold back in our commitment to God would be different for each of us. But, we probably know what it is. It's probably something we struggle with.

Today's verse of Scripture is good for me to read and understand; to hear the Holy Spirit speak to me through these words. I know I need to commit my everything to God. Then, when I do, God will do His part as well and act more in my life and help me more when I need it.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
