Instruction From The Scriptures – Proverbs 16:1

1) To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Guidance is not revealed from within the self.
Guidance is revealed in the words of Jesus.

All Scripture is God-breathed
and is useful for teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness,
II Timothy 3:16 (NIV)

33) The lot is cast into the lap,
but its every decision is from the Lord.

Proverbs Club Commentary

The Old Testament records several accounts
of casting lots and other ways to get an answer from God.

At least for Israel of that day,
the answer was from God.

32) Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Warriors are brave and heroic.
The Vigilant can be even greater.

it is attained in the way of righteousness.

30) Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.
