Day 326Closer to God — 365 Days

The Future in the Right Hands

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Psalm 37:5

How many hours have you spent planning futures that never came? Rehearsing conversations that never happened? Worrying over situations that resolved themselves in ways you never could have imagined?

The human mind has an astonishing capacity to create scenarios. And the anxious heart loves to work the night shift, when everything is quiet, inventing problems that don't exist yet.

God knows this. And the invitation He offers isn't "plan better." It's "commit." Place the future in the hands that were made to carry it — His.

Resting in God is not irresponsibility. It is wisdom. It is recognizing that you can do your part — and that God's part is infinitely greater than yours. The future does not depend on you never failing. It depends on God never ceasing to act.

Commit it. Rest. Let Him do it.

Prayer

Father, I release the future into Your hands. Weary me of worrying over what I cannot control. Let Your rest come over me now. Amen.
