Direct my Steps

“A man's heart deviseth his way: But the LORD directeth his steps.”
Proverbs 16:9 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/pro.16.9.RV1895
Today’s verse is one of those proverbs that you just have to stand back, marvel at, and appreciate.
There is always a paradox of how much we are in charge of our life and how much the Lord is. This beautiful verse says to me that both are completely in charge, but on different levels.
We have the free will to do what we want, and the Lord is with us through the good and holding our hand, guiding us.
Could you imagine if this wasn’t so? Could you imagine if we could screw up the Lord plan. What a terrifying thought. But no matter how hard we make a mess, the Lord takes it and makes something beautiful.
