Listen from:
V.1 Men have great plans to do great things, but God has the last word.
V.2 Ever since the fall of man in the garden of Eden, it has been man’s desire to try to justify himself. But a believer realizes that he cannot trust his own heart, and so he listens to God’s evaluation of things.
V.3 Beautiful instruction. We need to develop this habit of rolling our problems upon the Lord, and He promises to undertake for us and bring everything to a good end.
V.10-15 Though there may have been some good kings in the history of this world, there never will be a perfect king until the Lord Jesus Christ comes back (in the millennium your chart “E” to “F”).
V.19 It is better to be little in one’s own eyes and to find happy fellowship with the lowly, than it is to benefit from being closely connected with proud people.
V.20-24 In each of these verses we can see that if our heart is right toward God day by day, then all our affairs and our words will be quiet, and steady and good. All the happiness in the believer’s life depends on his state of soul.
