Psalm 37:5 (NLT), says “Commit everything you do
to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.” Did you get that? The
statement says “commit everything you do…” as a precondition before you trust
God and he will help you. That’s where millions get it all wrong. They have
dreams, they have plans but they do nothing about it, they take no action so in
actual fact, they commit nothing when they table their dreams
and plans to God and hoping for a miracle.
At any point in life, whether you are having positive or
negative outcomes, you alone took yourself there. If you are at the
positive end, fine and good. Maintain yourself there or strive to move even
higher but if you are at the negative end, that's not the issue. What is
important is your plan and determination to make things right and to swing to
the positive side of the pendulum.
Many are those who resign to crying, castigating, whaling
and praying. These are the people who soon say God does not answer prayers. God
answers prayers that are backed by action. You have to act first in the
best way you can and leave the rest to God. I have not known an instance
wherein God acted in your place. Once you focus on taking concrete actions to change
your situation, God grants your request. He transforms you into a magnet of
opportunity and people, you start attracting opportunities, circumstances and
people relevant to your course that make you progress.
This is not to say there will be no obstacles on
your path, you will have many more Nos that Yes. Let your mistakes not slow you
down, have the confidence that when God designed the plan for your life, it
wasn't dependent on you being perfect. Your mistakes are not a surprise to Him.
As a matter of fact, sometimes, God closes some of the doors you whished open because
it’s time to move forward. He sees inertia in you and knows you won’t move
unless your circumstances force you. If you trust the transition and make the
move, you got it right.
