Happy Sunday! โ€ข The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9 NASB1995
๐Ÿ“–

We make plans daily on what we're going to do. Where we're going. Nothing wrong with making plans, but always preparing to adjust if our Heavenly Father has different plans for our day as He sees fit.

As Christians, only the Lord directs our steps. We trust Him and His plans for us.

Reference Scriptures:
The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way. Psalm 37:23 NASB1995

The plans of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. Better is a little with righteousness Than great income with injustice.Proverbs 16:1โ€ญ, 8 NASB1995

Many plans are in a manโ€™s heart, But the counsel of the Lord will stand. Proverbs 19:21 NASB1995

Manโ€™s steps are ordained by the Lord, How then can man understand his way?
Proverbs 20:24 NASB 1995

Closing: โ€œA man may plan his road to the last detail, but he cannot implement his planning, unless it coincides with Yahwehโ€™s plan for him.โ€ - Bruce K. Waltke

โ€œA man can and does devise his own way under the direction of his heart. If desire be evil, the way devised is evil. If desire be good, the way devised is good. But that is not all the truth about life. This is also true: โ€˜Jehovah directeth his stepsโ€™โ€ฆ. That is to say that no man can step outside the government of God, no man can devise a way that enables him to escape from God.โ€ - G. Campbell Morgan

โ€œThe point is the contrast between what we actually plan and what actually happensโ€”God determines that. As Paul later said, God is able to do abundantly more than we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).โ€ - Allen P. Ross

โ€œAs rational agents we think, consult, act freely. We are dependent agents, and the Lord exercises his own power in permitting, overruling, or furthering our actions. Thus man proposes, and God disposes.โ€ - Charles Bridges

Happy Saturday! โ€ข God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 NASB1995
๐Ÿ“–

The Hebrew title of Psalm 46: To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song of Alamoth.

The sons of Korah were Levites, from the family of Kohath. They were a part of the musical aspect of temple worship in David's time. See 2 Chronicles 20:19.

Alamoth is possibly tied to an high- pitched stringed instrument. See 1 Chronicles 15:20.

Verse 1-3) God is our refuge. Our protector. He always there for his people in times of trouble. The only God that is present in our lives and will be right there to provide strength and help.

The psalmist has no reason to be afraid. Even if a natural disaster occurs. Just as God took care of Israel during their exile from Egypt. He surely will take care of His people now. His promises to His people are everlasting.

Closing: A very present help: โ€œThe secret of the confidence is the consciousness of the nearness of God.โ€ G Campbell Morgan

This has nothing to do with the safety or strength inherent in the creature. โ€œWe may be as timid by nature as the coneys, but God is our refuge; we are as weak by nature as bruised reeds, but God is our strength.โ€ - Charles Spurgeon

โ€œAll creatures, when in distress, run to their refuges, Proverbs 30:26 [The rock badgers are a feeble folk, yet they make their homes in the crags].โ€ - John Trapp
