Proverbs 16 Nuggets

There are so many nuggets of truth in this chapter, it's worth reading the whole thing.  Here are three(3) verses that I have been pondering over of since I was a teenager and have found them to be trustworthy and true.
  1. PROV 16:3  "Commit your ways to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." NIV  -  I first learned this verse in the King James Version which upon reflection speaks more to me than the NIV.  PROV 16:3 "Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established"  KJV  -  Wow, that is powerful!  I have seen God work in my life this way.
  2. PROV16:9  "A man's heart deviseth (plans) his way:  but the LORD directeth his steps" KJV  -  Aren't you glad that the circumstances in your life can be directed if you trust in Him, that it isn't just fate?
  3. PROV 16:20  "Whoever gives heed to instruction (handle a matter wisely - kjv) prospers, and blessed is he who trust in the LORD."  NIV

A bonus verse for my son Chris who recently became engaged!

Proverbs 18:22

"He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD."

Congratulations Chris & Danielle!
