- Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established. - For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
- For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
- The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps. - May he grant you your heart's desire
and fulfill all your plans! - Without counsel plans fail,
but with many advisers they succeed. - Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. - Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul. - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.
- For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. - Do not toil to acquire wealth;
be discerning enough to desist. - So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom. - For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. - This also comes from the Lord of hosts;
he is wonderful in counsel
and excellent in wisdom. - These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
- For the Lord God does nothing
without revealing his secret
to his servants the prophets. - Do not envy a man of violence
and do not choose any of his ways,
for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are in his confidence.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory! Selah If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.Next verse!With image
