I've written several posts about my favorite bible verse:
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
This morning during my devotional time, I read this verse:
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9 NIV
The King James Version is
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. Proverbs 16:9 KJV
Again I was reminded that God will direct my path. Yet, I have a role to play. We're not just puppets or robots with no control over our lives. We can't just be passive and wait for God to lead us down the path. No, we need to plan our course according to our heart's desire. Then we need to trust and let God work out the details. Sometimes we don't always realize that we've had His direction at the time but when we look back it can be pretty evident that He truly did direct our steps.
