- “A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD determines his steps.” (cf. Prov. 16:9)
- “I know, LORD, that a man’s way of life is not his own; no one who walks determines his own steps.” (cf. Jer. 10:23).
- “A man’s steps are determined by the LORD, so how can anyone understand his own way?” (cf. Prov. 20:24).
- “He will certainly accomplish what He has decreed for me, and He has many more things like this in mind.” (cf. Job 23:14).
HCSB version.
God cannot be frustrated in His plan; He has no Plan B. (cf. Job 42:2). Our free will doesn’t limit His sovereignty. He is in control and Lord of all. We do make choices but God determines the conditions, and what choices we must make—whether between A or B. There are no other opportunities but what He grants. We must choose to serve God because the default god is Satan—we will serve someone or something. Soli Deo Gloria!
