I was reading today that the word “commit” in Hebrew means to “roll to/upon”
So, committing to the Lord indicates a sense of quitting; like I cannot do this on my own, I give up, so I roll it over to the Lord and leave it there.

But here’s a catch:
According to this verse, once we commit our “doing” to God, then our plans become established by Him.

Ha!
It’s like the opposite of my nature. Typically, I make plans, establishing my thoughts, THEN I expect God to be with me in the “doing”. But here, King Solomon is reversing that - he says commit the doing to the Lord first, THEN He will establish our plans and thoughts.

Hmm…
So practically speaking, how does this work?
When my lack of trust prevents me from listening to God, I try my own way and find myself at a loss of what to do. However, when I choose to trust God and listen to Him, my “doing” becomes more fulfilling because I know I’m doing what He said.
