Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do
this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, and the justice of
your cause like the noonday sun.
These words do not say our journey will be filled with
sunshine and happiness, or that our ways and beliefs will be readily accepted
by those around us as our life evolves into a series of joyous events.
What these verses do communicate, is that when we truly
commit to living as the Lord commands, our righteousness (being “in the right”
in relation to God) will be what is most important, and what makes us stand out
among men in the eyes of God.
“Commit your way…” “Trust in Him…”
This “shining” may never look or feel like a bright,
beautiful experience to us because of the earthly burdens we bear. We might
never reap the benefits of our labors directly. The one who matters most
however, will be well aware of our heart’s intentions and the steps we have
taken to follow HIS course. To live our lives daily, for His glory. As we were
reminded last Sunday:
“The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.” Galatians
5:22-23
amen
