What Psalm 37:5 Means

“Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”Psalm 37:5 (KJV)
What Psalm 37:5 means
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. To commit your way is to roll the whole weight of it onto God, hands open rather than clenched. The promise is not that he grants every wish, but that when your way is genuinely entrusted to him, he himself carries it to its good end.
