Message notes by Kathy Martin, January 2 2022
’success within reach’
Success in 2022…
Proverbs 16:3
NLT: “Commit your actions to the Lord and your plans will succeed.”
NIV: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do and He will establish your plans.”
What does it mean to COMMIT?
Hebrew galal: to roll
Trust God completely
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. (NLT)
Trusting 1-2-3
First things first
Matthew 6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. (NLT)
The King James Version Seek ye FIRST…
Leave the heavy lifting to God.
When we COMMIT our plans to God, we are surrendering to Him and TRUSTING that He will guide us and lead us in all things.
What does God have to say about my PLANS?
Proverbs 13:16 A wise man thinks ahead, a fool doesn’t.
Planning is good
Plans can change
God has a plan
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (NLT)
Psalm 33:11 — But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.
God is working for our good now and in the future. We never have to wonder if He will come through.
What does the Bible mean when it says, my “plans will succeed”?
We must do the first part of the verse if we expect God to fulfill the second part.
When our plans/actions/work align with God’s will, success will follow.
Trust in God’s success
Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. (NLT)
God will bless our efforts according to His perfect will in ways beyond our understanding.
Plans succeeding could mean my own plans fail
God’s will is perfect and his plan and purpose are without fail.
True success comes from trusting God to do His work in us. We have to trust Him in ALL things.
