but the LORD determines his steps."
Proverbs 16:9
but it is the LORD's purpose which
prevails." Proverbs 19:21
There are few entirely unbroken
lives in this world; there are few
men who fulfill their own hopes
and plans, without thwarting or
interruption at some point.
Now and then, there is one who in early
youth marks out a course for himself--
and then moves straight on in it to its goal.
But most people's lives are very
differently from their own early dreaming.
Many find at the close of their life, that
in scarcely one particular, have they
realized their own life-dreams;
at every point GOD has
simply set aside their plans--
and substituted HIS own.
There are some people whose
plans are so completely thwarted,
that their story is most pathetic.
Yet we have but to follow it through
to the end, to see that the broken
life was better and more effective,
than if their own plans had
been carried out.
things to work together for good
to those who love GOD, to those
who are called according to HIS
purpose!" Romans 8:28
