Proverbs 16:3 has been a verse that I have tried to live by for much of my Christian life.
Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)
3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
Sometimes I'm able to act on this verse and apply it in my life and other times I fail. What I've found is that when I apply this verse in my life - when I commit the stuff in my life to God through prayer - then success follows. But I've also had to learn that sometimes it's not success as I'd define success and sometimes I have to wait for much longer than I'd like for God to show me the success from His perspective.
An Old Testament king that was able to get this right more often than not was Hezekiah. I read this verse this morning as well:
2 Chronicles 31:21 (NLT)
21 In all that he did in the service of the Temple of God and in his efforts to follow the law and the commands, Hezekiah sought his God wholeheartedly. As a result, he was very successful.
May we as followers of Christ at Day Seven and Summitview humbly grow in this.
What did God teach you today?

I like this verse because, I really like to plan out my life but the LORD determins where I will go and what I will do and all of my little steps.
My life is in God's hands not my own.
