Proverbs 16, was my reading for today. If you have not read it, I suggest you take a few minutes to do so. There is a lot of wisdom to be learned from the passage of scripture. You know you are in for a good lesson when the first thing you read is Proverbs 16:1-To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue.
We all have plans on what we want to do and what we want out of our lives. It takes some of us a very long time to realize that our plans are not necessarily His plans. As I talked about on Sunday, God will use people, places and things to get us to where we are suppose to be. He is ultimately in control.
We see a promise in Proverbs 16:3-Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. We must have faith in that whatever we commit to God, He will bless. The bible also tells us in Verse 9, that He will determine our steps: In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. God will watch all of our steps so that we can walk in the way that He has planned for our life. The final verse that really spoke to me today was verse 20: Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. We must follow the instructions that He gives us and trust that He will keep his promises.
In closing today, my hope is that you will see how much God wants to take you where you have never even dreamed could be possible. He wants to love you and show you all that He has in store for you. God's plans are far better than the plans that we have for ourselves. Will you trust in Him today?
