Commitment and Success

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
Proverbs 16:3

Wow. The Lord really knows how to speak to me. [duh]

What does it mean to commit to the Lord whatever we do?
'A life dedicated to God will experience a God dedicated to Life.'  If our values shape everything we do, then it will be committed to the Lord by definition.
How does God define success?
Jesus is the perfect example. He was considered a failure by the world. A revolutionary who gave up at the end and was crucified. But that is the lord's definition of success: persecution. A successful life for God is not one of fame and glory, but one of hardship and sacrifice.
