    Are you becoming like VW, thinking that God doesn't know what's going to happen?

    At the beginning of the year when I started volunteering at church while praying over what I was to do the care leader asked me what else I was going to do and I said my hospital chaplaincy. Her response was along the lines of "I think you'll be doing something else".

    Eleven deaths and a MIL who needs someone there after breaking her pelvis later I agree I'm doing something else.

    Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD will stand. (Prov 19)

    Your verse is telling me that if I follow the Lord's counsel then I will prevail, what is your point ?

    I'm saying it in this light:

    "There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm". See https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/e...erbs%2019%3A21 for lots of rendering of the verse.

    You're reading Calvinism into the verse, you mean.

    Nope, follow the link. 35 of the 50 translations read this way.

    The word translated means: advice; by implication, plan; also prudence :— advice, advisement, counsel(-lor), purpose.

    So when I take God's advice instead of my own plans then that course of action will prevail. Your point ?
