God Rules Over All

Proverbs 21 shows God's control over even the most powerful people. The king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts. To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.

God cares how we treat others. Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard. It is joy to the righteous to do justice. He who follows after righteousness and kindness finds life, righteousness, and honor. The righteous give and don't withhold.

The chapter ends with God's sovereignty. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh. The horse is prepared for the day of battle; but victory is with Yahweh. We should prepare, but our trust is in God.

Proverbs 21 · Grade 5

The Heart in God's Hand

Name Date

Read and Think

Chapter 21 opens with an image of God's rule: The king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires. A farmer directs water through channels, and God directs even rulers. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts. God sees past our excuses.

True worship includes how we live. To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination. Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard. He who follows after righteousness and kindness finds life, righteousness, and honor.

No human plan can defeat God. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh. The horse is prepared for the day of battle; but victory is with Yahweh. Preparation is wise, but outcomes belong to God. In the New Testament, Paul writes, But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Show What You Know

  1. Whom does God direct like watercourses?

  2. What does God see past?

  3. What does true worship include?

  4. What can't defeat God?

  5. In the New Testament, who gives us the victory, according to Paul?
