Our Plans vs. His Hands

Proverbs 16:1

The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

Proverbs 16:9

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

Proverbs 16:25

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

Jeremiah 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?

Psalms 63:8 (AMP)

My soul [my life, my very self] clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

A.W. Tozer "The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the response to that impulse is our following hard after Him; all the time we are pursuing Him we are already in His hand."
