Thought Guidance

Today's devotional is from Life Is a Goldmine: Can You Dig It?

"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 AMP.

If your heart is set to do God's will and you sincerely and diligently seek Him, He will cause your thoughts to align with His will without fail. After all, God isn't trying to trick you or lead you off a cliff so you'll stumble and fall. He wants you to do His will. So doesn't it make sense that He will use the brain He created in you to lead and guide you? And of course ,your brain is where your thoughts live, so God will use your thoughts to direct and guide you.

What thoughts have you consistently had that you put off because you're not sure they're from the Lord? Can you see today that they may very well be His way of directing you? What difference will that understanding make in how you set your goals?

Lord, I confess that I've been afraid of my own thoughts! Instead of seeing that You direct them, I've been cautious, assuming they were a trap and not a source of guidance and direction. Thank You for your patience and faithfulness as I ignored Your presence and work in my mind. No more!
