Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
You lead humble people to do what is right and to stay on your path.
All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and goodness and truth and faithfulness To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. (Psalm 25:9-10)
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; giving you an understanding. I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with mine eye upon thee. (Psalm 32:8) This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow."(Isaiah 48:17)
For I know what I have planned for you, says the LORD. I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope. (Psalm 29:11) Life with Christ is a endless hope; however life without Christ is an hopeless end. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts higher than your thoughts. For as the rain and snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth,
Making it bear and sprout,
And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:8-11)
Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, And from ancient times the things which have not [yet] been done, Saying, My purpose will be established, My plan will never fail, And I will do all that pleases Me and My council will stand. (Isaiah 46:10)
The LORD of hosts has sworn [an oath], saying, “Just as I have intended, so it has certainly happened, and just as I have planned, so it will stand. (Isaiah 14:24)
How deep are your thoughts, God! How great is their number!
If I try to count them, there would be more of them than there are grains of sand, I have walked, and I am still with Thee. (Psalm 139:17-18)
The LORD said to Moses, Is the LORD’S hand (ability, power) limited (short, inadequate)? You shall see now whether My word will come to pass for you or not. (Numbers 11:23)
There is no [human] wisdom or understanding Or counsel [that can prevail] against the LORD. (Proverbs 21:30) There are many plans in a man's heart, but the LORD's counsel will prevail. (Psalm 19:21)
