Commit Your Works

Proverbs 16:3 "Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established."

This scripture really hit me square in the face this past year. I have had a very hard, very trying couple of years. Most who "know" me would have been none the wiser. I lost both my parents within 2 years. I lost 2 babies in 2 years, and I almost my marriage. My life tumbled out of control from the inside out. Years of hurt and bitterness welled up in my heart to a point that nearly took my very life. My internal struggle was nearly the end of me. But God!

My husband looked at me one day, at my lowest and said to me, "Do you want me to stop fighting for you?" That question awakened me. It awakened me to just how far I had fallen from the place of grace I had attained. That question snapped me out of a daze I had been trapped in. Out of an oppression that was killing me both spiritually and physically.

This one verse brought me out of a place of self-loathing, a place of bitterness, a place of grief, a place of selfishness into the light of the life that God has for me. It reminded me that God has a plan and a purpose for my life. That if I commit my work, all that I am, all that I do to Him, to doing His will, then He will establish my thoughts. Now I don't know about you, but my thoughts can be a torture chamber. My thoughts put me down in ways no one else ever could have, and I've been put down, torn down, beat down by words and other people's actions all my life. That contributed to these thoughts that tormented me day and night. I came to realize, there was a lot I needed to be freed from.

I sought the Lord. I cried out to Him. I repented in proverbial sackcloth and ashes. I recommitted myself to my God. My husband asked me to remarry him. We renewed our marriage covenant. We started anew. I began my life all over. This time, letting go of all hurt, of all the bitterness I had held onto. I bought a book on self-deliverance, and it exposed everything that had a grip on me. With the help of the Holy Ghost, I am free. Those chains from my childhood hurts, the rejection, the abuse, the rapes of early adulthood, the grief, the bitterness that I clung to, were gone. With His help, my thoughts are now fixed on what I can do for His kingdom. I share these dear brothers and sisters, because I know you have struggles too. We all do. We can be set free. It takes a commitment to Him. Commit all of you to Him. Say to Him, Here I am Lord! Give it all to the One who truly cares for you.

Follow His lead.
