Delight yourself in the Lord and Commit all of your works to Him

Published on 27 December 2024 at 23:21

These scriptures in the image definitely can be an encouragement or an eye opener to how we actually do live.

Let us ask ourselves:

Do we delight ourselves in Him? How do we do that? 

Do we truly commit all of our ways? Or do we do what we want without His involvement?

This is a challenging task every day. This requires devotion, trust, faith, love, and commitment to Jesus and to abide in Him and abide in His will. True devotion to Christ and at times a denial to self.

These related verses below will convict and/or strengthen us as we truly lay our lives down and commit ourselves to Jesus Christ and His plan for our lives.

Matthew 6:33-34 KJV

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof

Matthew 16:24-26 BSB

Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. [25] For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. [26] What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Proverbs 3:5-6 BSB
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; [6] in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Romans 12:1-3 LSB

Therefore I exhort you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice—living, holy, and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. [2] And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may approve what the will of God is, that which is good and pleasing and perfect. [3] For through the grace given to me I say to each one among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound thinking, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.
