Proverbs 21
When our plans crumble, God's sovereign hand is still directing the outcome.
In Proverbs 21, Solomon (and others) gives short, punchy wisdom that shows us how to live under God’s hand: trust God’s sovereignty over our plans, choose righteousness over empty ritual, pursue diligence and integrity instead of quick gain, and cultivate peace in our relationships. This chapter isn't just theology — it's practical guidance for everyday life: prepare faithfully but hold plans loosely, prioritize justice and kindness over shows of religiosity, work with steady effort and honesty, and guard your speech so relationships flourish. Try reading a proverb a day (and pair it with a chapter of John) — or pick one verse from this chapter to let shape your week.
