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.
– Proverbs 16:3, The Amplified Bible

Right now you may be on the
edge of a major decision...about to make a change in your job or your
church or your personal life. You know you need divine guidance. And
you're hoping desperately to hear from the Lord.
If that's your
situation, don't panic. Being led by the Lord isn't some complicated
process that only the spiritual "pros" can master.
I found that
out years ago when I was a new believer. I wanted to live in a way that
was pleasing to God, but I didn't know how to make decisions that were
in line with His will.
Then one day as I was studying The Amplified Bible,
I came across Proverbs 16:3. Immediately, I latched on to this verse
and began to use it in my life—and I can tell you now from experience,
it works!
It will work for you too if you'll do what it says. Roll
your works over on God, commit your ways to Him, trust them wholly to
Him. He'll start adjusting your thoughts to be like His until, at some
point, you'll just know the right thing to do. Of course, faith is
involved. One of the requirements is trust, and you won't be able to do
that without feeding on God's Word. Then as you practice rolling your
works upon the Lord and trusting Him, you become more confident in your
ability to hear. Start now with whatever problem is bothering you. Pray
and trust God with it. In other words, believe you receive when you
pray. Stop worrying and begin believing.
Learn to live this way
and it doesn't matter whether you've been a Christian 30 minutes or 30
years, your plans shall be established and succeed!
