Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Proverbs chapter 19 verse 21.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

That is a good word, isn't it? Like many are the plans in the mind of a man. You think about all the plans

you and I have come up with at different points in our lives. We're like,

we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that. Like the plans of our mind come and go they vary they shift. We think about

some plans we've made that we thought were the greatest thing in the world like

if only this could happen and then they actually did happen and we

realized that wasn't the greatest thing in the world that actually wasn't helpful at all.

So our plans created by our finite minds are oftentimes, let's be honest, foolish minds, and I don't

mean that to sound overly negative, but just to be real like we often make foolish

plans because we don't have all knowledge we don't have all perspective we make

plans we don't realize how it's gonna affect this person or that person we make plans we don't realize how it's going to affect this person or that person. We make plans for our lives that we don't realize it's going to lead to this or that and so in the end we we make some foolish plans. It is good to know that it's the purpose of the Lord that will stand

That God's purpose he doesn't flounder. He has all knowledge. He has all knowledge he has all perspective he never has done or will do anything

Foolish never he's all wise

It's good to know that He's all wise.

good to know that it's only the purpose of the all-wise God that will stand.

So doesn't that lead us then to pray today and just submit our plans to his purpose?

To pray, oh God, you are all wise, you are all good. Everything you do is good and your purposes will be accomplished.

And we are so thankful for that.

We are so thankful because your purpose is good. It is good because it brings you glory and it is good because by your grace it's good for us.

Oh God we praise you that your purpose involves the salvation of sinners for the glory of your name.
