The Decision Lies With Him (and I'm happy with that!)

Proverbs 16

1 To man belong the plans of the heart,
but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue.

2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him,
but motives are weighed by the LORD .

3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do,
and your plans will succeed.

4 The LORD works out everything for his own ends- even the wicked for a day of disaster.




7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD ,
he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.



9 In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps.



16 How much better to get wisdom than gold,
to choose understanding rather than silver!


20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,
and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD .


31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;
it is attained by a righteous life.

32 Better a patient man than a warrior,
a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap,
but its every decision is from the LORD .
