Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

16:1 The renewing grace of God alone prepares the heart for every good work. This teaches us that we are not sufficient of ourselves to think or speak any thing wise and good. 2. Ignorance, pride, and self-flattery render us partial judges respecting our own conduct. 3. Roll the burden of thy care upon God, and leave it with him, by faith and dependence on him.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

3. (Compare Margin). Rely on God for success to your lawful purposes.
