He Shall Bring It To Pass

-March 1, 2024,

Good morning beloved, happy Friday,

“Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.”

(Psalm 37:5).

Life isn’t easy, we can’t make it on our own without the Lord. Today’s verse is a command with a promise. In mathematics, there are numbers added together that equal a total. Here we have commitment + trust = a good result by God in our lives.

David, the writer of this beautiful thirty-seventh psalm, found this to be true in his life over and over. He recognized that to be victorious, successful, and happy he had to rely on the Lord fully on a daily basis.

• Commit your way to the Lord – The word for commit in the Hebrew means to “roll off into.” Imagine rolling a rock upon the Rock of Ages. He wants us to bring Him our troubles, our needs, our frustrations, our fears, and our sorrows to the throne of grace and leave them there. Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

God never intended that we bear burdens on our own. They are much too heavy for us. Psalm 55:22 says, “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”

• Trust also in Him – God is our Father, He knows best, and we must trust Him. David wrote in Psalm 56:3, “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.” He is our hiding place, our refuge, our fortress. We can trust God in the dark for He is our light and salvation; we can trust Him in the silence for He is the living Word.

Solomon said in Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Whatever you are going through today, He knows, He cares, and He will guide us through it by His grace.

• He shall do it to pass – Whatever your “it” is. “It” may be spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, social, material, or financial. “It” may seem impossible, immovable, or impassable, but He shall bring it to pass. The Lord has the answer, the resolution, and the solution. He takes care of His side of the equation. He directs and protects. The angel told Mary, “For with God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37).

Let us then commit our ways to the Lord, trust in Him fully, knowing He shall do it. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

Trusting in our Pilot, Jesus Christ, through the turbulence of flight of life,
