Day Twenty-One
Read Proverbs 21
In our human nature, we all think we know what is best for ourselves. It’s an innate part of who we are. However, most of the time, we aren’t that great at determining the best for ourselves. In verse 2 of today’s reading, we see that in the moment, everyone thinks his or her way is right. Ultimately, though, God is the one who determines right from wrong. That is why He gave us the Bible! We have a book full of truth and grace that helps us to make the best choices as we go through our lives.
Reflect
Some of the best things for us to pursue are righteousness and kindness. What does verse 21 say those who pursue those things will find?
What does verse 3 say God values?
Engage
What do you think it means that God weighs the heart?
If God loves us and wants the best for us (which He does), in what areas of your life do you need to trust Him?
An Extra Mile
Read Jeremiah 29:11 and write it down as a daily reminder of God’s plan for you.

About this Plan
Oftentimes life looks like an open road and we aren’t sure which way it will turn. Other times, we feel like we are in control of where we are heading—no need to stop for directions. As believers, we must make sure that our GPS is programmed to the Word. God is our ultimate guide through the journey; He is the Creator of the road itself.
