What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty over human plans?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that while man devises his way, it is the Lord who directs his steps (Proverbs 16:9).

Proverbs 16:9 clearly states that while a man's heart devises his way, it is ultimately the Lord who directs his steps. This means that human planning is not inherently negative; rather, it acknowledges our need for God's sovereignty in guiding our actions. This concept is further supported by Scriptures such as Jeremiah 10:23, which reminds us that 'the way of man is not in himself,' indicating that man does not have the ultimate control over his destiny. God not only oversees the good; He orchestrates all events according to His will, reminding us that our plans must align with His purpose.
