Truly you are a God who has been hiding himself, the God and Savior of Israel. (Isa. 45:15 niv) A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps. (Prov. 16:9) Many plans are in a person’s heart, but the Lord’s decree will prevail. (Prov. 19:21) No wisdom, no understanding, and no counsel will prevail against the Lord. (Prov. 21:30) The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. (Ps. 33:10–11 niv)
