What Does Proverbs 19:21 Mean?

²¹ There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

What It Means

People often come up with plenty of their own ideas and plans, yet what God has in mind will ultimately happen. This truth brings peace because it means our future is not left to chance or our limited thinking. In daily life it invites us to hold our plans loosely, pray about decisions, and trust that God's steady guidance will lead to what is truly best.
