Focus
Committing Your Plans Into God’s Hands
Devotional
Planning is part of life, but control belongs to God. When we hold tightly to our plans, we often carry unnecessary pressure. God invites us to place our plans in His hands instead. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” Commitment is not just asking God to bless our plans—it is allowing Him to shape, adjust, or redirect them.
Scripture Reading
Proverbs 16:3 — God establishes committed plans James 4:13–15 — Submitting plans to God’s will Psalm 37:5 — Commit your way to the Lord
