2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established (Proverbs 16: 2-3).
God in His sovereignty accomplishes His will often through the actions of people. The more that we commit ourselves to the Lord; the more it will become a pattern for us. We are judged according to God’s reference points, not our own. And while we are certainly not saved by what do, God is glorified when we act correctly. The bottom line is that we should look differently than does the world around us. God promises that if we commit ourselves to Him, our focus will be upon Him, and in turn our thoughts and actions will follow.
