The Evangelist Proverbs 19:21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. I. THE DEVICES OF MEN'S HEARTS. The heart of man is a little world of scheming, and planning, and business. We are always devising. II. THE VANITY OF THESE DEVICES. Our safety consists in their being kept in. They could not be suffered to come forth but at the expense of the ruin of the world. They cannot all be accomplished, because they oppose each other. III. THE COUNSEL OF THE LORD OVERRULING THESE DEVICES. Amidst all these various devices, there is one mighty will going on. All human devices serve God's counsel. Therefore we should seek to have our devices in principle compatible with God's counsel. (The Evangelist.) Parallel Verses KJV: There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.WEB: There are many plans in a man's heart, but Yahweh's counsel will prevail. |
