September 29
Introduction
Today’s reading reminds us that God has the “last word” and is in control. Abiding by God’s teachings keeps one on the right road.
Scripture Reading
Proverbs 16:1-33
Today’s Key Verse: Proverbs 16:1
We may make our plans, but God has the last word.
Reflect
Many of the parallelisms in this chapter reflect the style of the second part of each verse being in agreement with the first part. The first and last verses (1 and 33) also seem to serve as “bookends” to the chapter, each expressing the same sentiment. What are your thoughts about God having the “last word” (verse 1)? Have you ever made plans that you felt were changed or stopped by God? If so, what was the result?
Pray
Almighty God, sometimes I move forward, making plans without discerning your will. When you thwart my plans, remind me that it is because you know what is best for me. Teach me to trust in you and in your will for my life. Remind me to turn to you and seek direction from you so that I travel along the right road. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those involved in corporate planning.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Proverbs 17:1-28: Our heart is tested by the LORD.
