The worse thing man ever did to the Bible was to put it into Verses! Many people stop reading in the middle of a chapter when the next verse says "Therefore" and they don't get the whole meaning of what's been said by doing so! Can you imagine if you took a letter from someone who wrote you and then you put it into verses and then tried to read it verse by verse, instead of as a whole!?

I am researching this verse today because it seems opposite to me what I always assumed ... that a man may determine his immediate actions but the Lord decides where it all will lead him ...

My heart may think out and understand to go and or do a certain thing but the Lord may and does most of the time direct me a different way. The Lord directs my steps . Establishes my way. I want my Lord to direct my steps because His way is best.
