Proverbs 19:21 (WEB) There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail. Promise #229: Though you have many plans, My purpose will be fulfilled. Over the years, I have looked to this Bible verse many times. By nature, I am a strategist and a planner. I like to know how to best prepare for whatever life has to throw at me.
