HIGHLIGHTING PROVERBS

A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. [Proverbs 16:9] You can plan, push, purpose and plot, but God alone reserves the right to pick, place, and permit where He wants you to go.
 
Divination is on the lips of the king: His mouth must not transgress in judgment. [Proverbs 16:10] Because a king is a representative of God (Rom. 13:1) his edicts and decisions carry authority. Therefore, his mouth must not transgress in judgment. (i.e.) The mouth of a ruler will always be right when he speaks what God has spoken.

Honest weights and scales are the LORD’S: all the weights in the bag are His work. [Proverbs 16:11] Integrity is weighed in grams, millimeters, and ounces; little things done in the power of the Holy Spirit reap massive results.

It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness: for a throne is established by righteousness. [Proverbs 16:12] Lawful, orderly government must be sustained by righteousness. Where moral standards are abandoned, anarchy prevails.
