"Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established." For most of us, the job we do to earn a living may seem far removed from serving God and advancing His Kingdom. This proverb tells us how to reconcile the incompatibility of working at your job with serving God. Commit the work that you do to the Lord, and then God will develop the plan and purpose for your life. That doesn't mean you have to be a missionary in a third-world nation to serve Him. It probably means that you will keep doing what you are doing now, but then your job--and for that matter, all that you do--will begin to take on a new meaning. Here's the reason why: When you commit your work to the Lord, then He becomes your boss--you work for God no matter what your job is. And when you work for God, then what you do as a job or profession has eternal significance because God establishes it as part of His plan for your eternal life.
