Psalms 37:5 Be Committed

Psalms 37:5 Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.

I just realized that I have done Psalms 37 before on this very blog. Wow. God is bringing me back to the same place. I guess just didn't get it the first time. So, here I am in the exact same place. Hopefully, I will learn the lesson God has for me this time around. Ugh. Am I that hard headed that I just don't get it?

Here it says commit everything you do to the Lord. Everything means everything. No mystery here. Whether it be at work, at home, at school, school or with friends, I need to commit everything I do to the Lord. This is one of those phrases that sounds easy in theory, but in reality, is difficult to do. Americans are good at going to church and acting one way, then acting a different way in public. I am sure someone comes to your mind when I say this. But everything means the way you treat people to the what you are doing when no one is watching. I know I can improve in this area, especially when someone wrongs me or hurts me. My problem is that I will say what I think without filtering my words. Am I honoring God in the way I treat others? Am I honoring God at work?

Trust him and he will help you. Right now I am dealing with a situation that is hard for me. I have kind of made a mess out of things and have left wrong impressions on people about who I am. I have tried to fix things, but in the process have made them worse. But God has me in a place where ONLY he can fix things. Only he can make things right. My job is to just wait for him. My job is to trust him. There is a promise here. If I do my part, trust, then God will do his part, help. He will help me, but first I must trust him and let go and just wait for him to act and do what he does best. It is so difficult to wait sometimes. But his promise is so clear.
