SCRIPTURE

"Commit thy works unto Jehovah, And thy purposes shall be established." — Proverbs 16:3 (ASV)

Commit your works to the Lord. Literally, roll them upon Him, as a burden too heavy to be borne by yourself. “Your works” signify all that you have to do . God provides such works for us .

And your thoughts shall be established. Your plans shall prosper, for they will be undertaken according to the will of God, and carried out by His aid (Compare to 1 Corinthians 3:9; 2 Corinthians 6:1).
