By grace we walk

This morning we begin worship with:

The  heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.

My plan was to go to church today, but I am sick on the couch.  This is an easy thought.  What we intend does not always happen.

But this verse goes deeper than that,  While man plans (ḥāšaḇ), the LORD establishes (kûn).  Other translations use “directs”, but the sense is “orders aright” and “makes firm”.

This is not simply the deterministic sovereignty of God, it is also the kind grace of God.

Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose
