Proverbs 16:1-9

Proverbs 16:1-9

1 We may make our plans, but God has the last word.

2 You may think everything you do is right, but the Lord judges your motives.

3 Ask the Lord to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out.

4 Everything the Lord has made has its destiny; and the destiny of the wicked is destruction.

5 The Lord hates everyone who is arrogant; he will never let them escape punishment.

6 Be loyal and faithful, and God will forgive your sin. Obey the Lord and nothing evil will happen to you.

7 When you please the Lord, you can make your enemies into friends.

8 It is better to have a little, honestly earned, than to have a large income, dishonestly gained.

9 You may make your plans, but God directs your actions.
