Proverbs 19:21

Some friends and I have committed to read the whole Bible this year which will actually be a first for me but it's something I've always wanted to do. We are keeping one another accountable and so far, it's working.

From time to time while reading the selections, a verse will stand out to me and this past week, one struck me so heavily I began to write it down repeatedly so that I could memorize it. I asked one of the other girls if she noticed it and she said, "yes, I read it about three times." I've shared this particular verse a lot over the past several days and I'm praying this verse because of all the plans that I make for me and my life on a daily basis.

Prov. 19:21 says,
"Many are the plans in a man's heart but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."

I'm sure I've read this before but never has it stood out to me like it did this particular time. Think about it... how many plans do all of us make on a daily basis? It's okay to plan but this is a great reminder that in the end, we who are the children of God, should seek to do what God has planned and purposed us to do, after all, "...it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."

This is definitely a verse to remember so that we'll stay focused on the purposes of God.

Have a great day and remember, Jer. 33:3
Call unto me and I will answer you...

Blessings,
Kim
