Proverbs 16:3

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Commit thy works unto the Lord ( ; : literally, roll as a burden devolved upon one stronger than thyself: Hebrew, gol), and thy thoughts shall be established. Many have no sense of the Burden of sin. They are so immersed in worldly things as to make no efforts at all as to eternal things. This proverb glances at both. Not the idle, but the worker - i:e., the diligent user of means is blessed. Others again, conscious of the difficulty, think to effect all by their own "works." The true way is, "Work, out your own salvation with fear and trembling." But remember at the same time, "it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good good pleasure" (Philippians 2:12). So (mutatis mutandis) in all the other undertakings and duties of life.
