Scripture:

Proverbs 16:1

The preparations of the heart belong to man,
But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

The Lord is Sovereign

Free will, it is both a blessing and a curse; in it, we have the choice to do what is right and what is wrong.  And in it, we have the choice to love God supremely.   Solomon is really speaking about the sovereignty of God here. He is saying that we can make plans, but we have no control over the outcome; that is in God's hands.   So, the call here is to align our plans with God's heart, to seek Him in all things, not to plan foolishly (James 4:13–14) but rather to invite God into our plans and allow His good grace to establish them.

Today's God Shot is to make plans, to dream big, but to not exclude God from them, to plan with God, to allow Him to establish them.   Seek His will, and you will find the way.

Lord, I thank you that every good and bad plan you have been sovereign in, the bad ones that you saved me from by your grace, I thank you for, the good ones that I could have never established on my own, I praise you for, today as I plan align them with your will that they may be established.
