Human planning is legitimate and good. But sovereignty over the outcome belongs to God alone. This is not a rebuke of planning but a call to hold our plans loosely, trusting that God's direction is wiser than our best ideas. It is one of the most quoted verses in all of Proverbs.
Memory phrase: God directs my steps.
Talk about it: Why is it good to plan but also trust God with the result?
Prayer: God, guide every step I take today.
