Proverbs 16:3 Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established. The counsel implies — 1. That all our purposes and all our doings should be according to God's will. 2. That none of our works can prosper without God. 3. That it is therefore the imperative duty of intelligent creatures to own their independence, and to seek, on all occasions, the Divine countenance and blessing. 4. That what is our duty is, at the same time, our interest. 5. A general truth is expressed, that God will graciously smile on the efforts, and accomplish the purposes and wishes of him who, in all that he does, piously and humbly acknowledges Him and seeks His blessing.
