Proverbs 19:21


Many 
are 
the 
plans 
of 
a 
man's 
heart, 

but 
it 
is 
the 
Lord's 
purpose 
that 
prevails.

    This proverb reminds of an old yeddish saying;" Mann tracht un Gott lacht" meaning man plans and God laughs" or as Woodie Allen puts it: If you want to make God laugh, tell Him about your plans.

    It's not that we should not plan things, but that we should be aware of our limitations. It's God, after all, who has the last say in any matter.

    Maybe we simply should ask God when we make plans :)

    Indeed. We should not make our plans without asking for God's guidance.

    Yes, we make the plans, but God directs our paths.

    Hi Sandi,
    these were some of the first Words that the Lord spoke to me when I became born again of His Spirit. However, in the version I was reading it used the word 'mind' instead of 'heart', and this was one of the things that brought me to start to discern between the carnal mind and the mind of Christ. I love how the Lord speaks to every one of us individually.
    God bless Sandi.

    Sandi, I saw this a couple of hours ago when I needed an answer on something, and this verse really helped me. Thank you for praying for my son. He is healing and doing better. It's so nice to have blog friends like you, who are there when I need them the most.
