my own plans

I've been chewing on Proverbs 21:30 today:
"There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan
that can succeed against the LORD."

I'm pretty sure I find it much easier to make my own plans and hope that I'm doing the right thing. Praying that God will bring it to a halt if I'm veering down a path that's not quite what He has in mind.

That lead me back to Proverbs 16:9 which says:
"In his heart a man (or woman) plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps."

Jesus, teach me to wait on you FIRST. To ask you FIRST. To listen to you FIRST. Give me a passion to please you that is so much stronger than my self-absorbed desires to please ME! Thank you that you determine my steps. May I be certain that my plans are carved by YOU - not me - before I move forward.
