Proverbs 16
1 The preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirits.
3 Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established.
7 When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
9 A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings, and they love him who speaks what is right.
16 How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; he who keeps his way preserves his soul.
20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart will be called prudent, and sweetness of the lips increases learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it. But the correction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.
The 16th of each month is my favorite—there's just something encouraging about Proverbs 16: God has EVERYTHING under control! Praise Him!
