Its preparations are from Him.

Sometimes (like these days) I look at God’s assignment and realize my heart is insufficient to it.

And that’s a very good thing. In fact, if my sense of insufficiency is only sometimes, that’s too bad.

This morning I read the first half of Proverbs 16 and found some very applicable gems:

“The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord” (1).

“Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established” (3).

“A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps” (9).

[The Scriptures say in Proverbs 16:9 -- A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps]
