"Roll your works upon the Lord-commit and trust them wholly to Him; [He
will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall
your plans be established and succeed." (Proverbs 16:3). [Amplified Bible].
The verb "commit" is literally "roll" (the figure of rolling, as in rolling one's burdens onto the Lord, is found also in Psm 22:8; 37:5; 55:22). This word portrays complete dependence on God, (Prov 3:5-6) accomplished with a spirit of humility and be means of a diligent season of prayer. For our plans to succeed, we must also have God's approval. Not every plan we have is pleasing to him; but for those that are, this verse is a great comfort.
