Commit to God

The Amplified Bible pictures us committing our load to God b y rolling it onto Him. It is helpful to note that we can roll something that is too heavy to carry or to cast.

What are we to commit – to trust – to God?

Ourselves. Psalm 22:8:

He trusts in the Lord;

let the Lord rescue him.

Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.

Our Burden. Psalm 55:22:

Cast your cares on the Lord

and he will sustain you;

he will never let the righteous fall.

Our Souls. 1 Peter 4:19

So the, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

Our Way. Psalm 37:5:

Commit your way to the Lord;

trust in him.

Our Cause. 1 Peter 2:23:

When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

Our Works. Proverbs 16:3:

Commit to the Lord whatever you do,

and your plans will succeed.
