SURRENDER YOUR PLANS TO THE LORD - PART 8

SATURDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2025

As I conclude this topic with today's article, I want to encourage all who commit everything they do to the LORD, and trust Him wholeheartedly, with the assurance that He will make their innocence radiate like the dawn, because He sees the condition of their hearts, which is unnatural and far from how men see things. More below!

Reference: Psalm 37:5-6 New Living Translation (NLT) 

"Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust Him, and He will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun."

Based on the sequenced order of the above versified reference, today's article is majored on the last segmentary statement:

"The justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun."

The keyword in the above versified segment is justice. God can never deceive the hearts of the innocent or deprive them of justice, unlike some people who deprive the innocent of justice - with false or negative testimonies. The living God will always make all your commitments and pursuits which come with your right standing with Him and an innocent trust - radiate like the dawn, and also, your justice like the shining of the noonday [sun]. So you must continue to integrate your steadfast trustworthiness into your daily life and activities - with grounded faith actions, always powered by the strategic, deep-dyed influence of the Spirit.

God's justice department can never disappoint. On account of this truth, the book of Isaiah says, "For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch. Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow" (Isaiah 62:1-2 NIV).

Indeed, because God loves Zion, He will not keep still. And because God's heart yearns for Jerusalem, He cannot remain silent, until her righteousness shines like the dawn, and her salvation blazes like a burning torch. Beloved, do you hail from Zion? If you can answer this question on a personal level, and your answer is positive, then the justice of your cause, which you've presented before Him will brightly shine like the daylight.

God's sovereignty as a just Judge stems from His superior ability to respond to our unyielding trust through a stunning delivery of His justice. The sacredness of His justice dispels moral darkness, restores your soul and dwarfs any form of limiting belief, thereby causing your righteousness to shine forth like the noonday sun.

Although the lost world cannot see God or accept the Spirit of truth, they can see and witness His justice, and when they observe His justice in operation, they will believe and glorify God. Therefore, do not lose touch or disconnect your inner being from such an innocent trust, as you commit everything you do to the LORD, and push through life's complexities in a victorious manner - by the empowering influence of the Spirit. Shalom!

Scripture Reading - Isaiah 1:26-27; Psalm 98:2-3; Proverbs 3:5-6; Zechariah 8:3-8.

Exuberant Declaration:

I have put on the garment of unwavering trust, and my authentic righteousness, which emanates from the inner disposition of my heart, blossoms profusely. My journey of wholesome commitment to God is in flourishing condition, and it awakens the aiding essence of the Godhead at all times. Blessed be God!
