Prov 16:1-9
In Proverbs 16, there is no continuity between the verses. They should be looked at individually. However, there are similarity between the verses, for example, v.1 and 9. Man can make all the plans he wants, but not everything is within our own controls. In v.1 the reply of others are not in our control. In v.9, the steps are determined by the Lord. It implies the blessings that God will give. What impresses me is v.7, He makes even his enemies live at peace with me! It may be easy for us to believe that God can control the world, but have you ever think about He can even control the hearts of man! Even the unsaved man (my enemy)! Also He controls the reply of others to me! Not only His power amazes me, but His loving care for me. If He does not care about me, He will not control what is in the heart of MY enemy.
