Verse Takeaways

God Governs Our Outcomes
Commentators agree that this verse is a powerful declaration of God's sovereignty. While we make plans and take action ("walk"), the ultimate direction and outcome of our lives are not in our own hands. Scholars like John Calvin emphasize that this truth counters human pride and the false security we find in our own wisdom or resources. Our best-laid plans succeed only by God's blessing.
