Proverbs 16:25 says this:
25 There is a way that seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.
In our own natural thinking, something may make perfect sense, but remember that none of us can see as God sees! That's why we must be active DOERS of verse 3:
3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.
When we commit our lives, plans and dreams into His hands, we can be assured that the final results will be better than we ever thought possible! How do I know this? Because HE has revealed His desires for us in John 10:10:
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
Look also at Proverbs 16:20:
20 He who deals wisely and heeds [God's] word and counsel shall find good, and whoever leans on, trusts in, and is confident in the Lord--happy, blessed, and fortunate is he.
So, commit YOUR ways to Him in full confidence that HIS ways are higher and better (Isaiah 55:9)! His thoughts are, too. That's what makes Proverbs 16:3, above, so powerful! HIS thoughts BECOME our thoughts! WE think the same higher thoughts that He thinks then! Let's do it! AMEN! Here is a real song of commitment! Hillsong United with "Oceans":
Shalom in Him!
