Commit your works to Lord,
And your thoughts will be established.
-Proverbs 16:3
I don’t care if it’s a business or a ministry, even a small group or just some friends getting together to do some good work within the community, you need to start from your heart. That’s where you get the commitment that you will need to endure any such work. It will have to come from deep within you. It will have to start in and come from the heart.
The Bible says so in Proverbs as we see in the verses above. It comes up in other places in both the Old Testament and New Testament. Don’t get it wrong. The Bible is certain to cover such a matter as this due to its importance to success of any such venture in faith. After all, the Lord’s name is on the line any time that we step out there with the blood of Jesus Christ covering us. Other folks are looking.

Get your heart into before you even get started. Let God have your best by putting your whole heart into it. He has already give you His best in Jesus Christ. Go on and get your heart into whatever you will do in His name.
