Commit Your Deeds to God |
and He will establish your thoughts... |

Commit your endeavors to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established. |
In this verse, the word "commit" (gol) comes from the Hebrew root galal, which could be rendered as "roll away" or "heap" (gal means a heap or pile of stones). The LORD spoke this word when He said to Joshua, "This day have I rolled away (galal) the reproach of Egypt from off you" (Josh. 5:9) and named the place "Gilgal," a word-play meaning a wheel or "rolling away." In love God "rolls away" the reproach of our sin. |

When we trust in His love, when we "roll away" the burden of our lives to His care, our thoughts will be "established" and we can freely enjoy the confidence that God Himself is directing our way (Psalm 37:23; Psalm 90:17; Proverbs 16:9). We can then experience genuine rest and shalom, despite the tumult of the world and its tribulations.
