When God says...
“Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established.” (Proverbs 16:3 NKJV)He draws us to set our thoughts in a firm unshakable ground. It is where the battle with the enemy of our soul is fought. Thoughts that are easily carried away by every whims and waves of emotions and notions other than the Word of God are open doorways to the path of destruction and death. That's not God's intent for humanity.
His plan for us is to have a victorious life. Not only in worldly realm. Though still in the world, all who have been reborn in spirit by faith in Christ Jesus are citizens of heaven. In Christ, He establishes our thoughts for victory in heavenly dimension. He sends us the gift of the Holy Spirit to teach us all things (John 14:26). His Word is our lamp and light (Psalm 119:105).
Hence, He commands us to dedicate our endeavors to Him, and He promised as it is written: "Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, Your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over. But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline; don’t sulk under his loving correction. It’s the child he loves that God corrects; a father’s delight is behind all this.” (Proverbs 3:5-12 MSG)
Foremost, as we focus our eyes on Jesus “the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2)” our thoughts are settled. It is at peace. And, while in this world, we overcome. “For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” (1 John 5:4 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
