The Mind of Man and the Mind of God
Proverbs 19:21
There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.


I. The mind of man has MANY DEVICES; the mind of God has but ONE COUNSEL.

II. The mind of man is SUBORDINATE, the mind of God SUPREME.

1. This is a fact well attested by history.

2. This is a fact that reveals the greatness of God.

III. The mind of man is CHANGEABLE, the mind of God UNALTERABLE. Lessons:

1. The inevitable fall of all that is opposed to the will of God.

2. The inevitable fulfilment of all God's promises.

(D. Thomas, D. D.)
