How to Succed in All Of Your Plans

Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established. Proverbs 16:3

If you only work for God, and you only offer what you do to Him, then it becomes God's work, and whatever God plans is established and successful.  So if your work is committed to God and for God alone, and you will succeed in all of your plans, just as God succeeds in all of His plans.

COMMIT TO WORK FOR GOD
When you do whatever you do, whatever you job is, do it for God's honor and pleasure.  This means you work to make God look good and feel good.  That's your purpose.  You do your work like God does His.  For example, Jesus was known as "Rabbi" or teacher.  If you are a teacher, then you work to imitate Jesus as The Ultimate Teacher.  You want people to get a glimpse of what it would be like to be in Jesus' class.  This makes Jesus look good, and it makes Him feel good. 

COMMIT YOUR WORK TO GOD
Think of this as an offering, or a presentation in today's language.  If you're a cook, you make your specialty dish.  A lobster dinner.  You make it to the best of your culinary skills, then you present it to a bride and groom who are having a special anniversary dinner.  You offer your best meal to them for this special occasion.  In the same way, when you do your job or work, you offer the final product to God, wanting Him to be happy with what you've given Him.

When you are working for God's honor and pleasure, and when you are offering your work to Him as a gift of love, you can know that God will make you successful in all you plan to do.  He will establish our plans when you commit your work to Him.
