Proverbs 19:21:
“There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the LORD’s counsel, that shall stand.”
We make plan after plan, device after device, and most of them shift, fail, or get abandoned. But God’s counsel …His purposes …stand regardless of how many of our schemes come and go. There’s real comfort in that instability of our own plans being covered by the stability of His.
If a plan of yours has collapsed recently, this verse isn’t a rebuke …it’s a reminder that your plans were never meant to be the load-bearing wall. His counsel is. Rest there instead of in your own devices.
Prayer: Lord, my plans will shift and fail, but Your counsel stands. Let that be my anchor today. Amen.
