The Journey Readings: Week 89... and His sovereignty...

I see it again and again in Proverbs...
we can make all the plans we want...
but God's purpose is the one that will prevail...

The heart of man plans his way,

but the Lord establishes his steps.

Proverbs 16:9 ESV

Many are the plans in the mind of a man,

but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

Proverbs 19:21 ESV

A man's steps are from the Lord;

how then can man understand his way?

Proverbs 20:24 ESV

In His sovereignty...
He allows what He allows in our life...

He establishes steps...

He fulfills His purpose...

We don't even understand our way...

how things work out the way they do...

how we end up where we do...
when our plans were for something completely different...

There is a sure way... 

to be at peace with where we go...

let Him plan our way...

Commit your work to the Lord,

and your plans will be established.

Proverbs 16:3 ESV

This truth... the truth of His sovereignty...

should inspire... 

humility...

thankfulness...

fear of the Lord...

all elements for gaining wisdom...
