Proverbs 16
May 16, 2026 • Sherri McRae
Proverbs 16 teaches that while we make plans, it is ultimately God who directs our steps, calling us to live with humility, integrity, and trust in His sovereignty. Written by Solomon, the chapter emphasizes that pride leads to downfall while humility leads to honor, and that righteousness is more valuable than wealth or success. It highlights the importance of wise speech, self-control, and discernment, reminding us that not every path that seems right leads to life. Ultimately, Proverbs 16 calls us to surrender our plans to God and walk in wisdom as He guides our direction.
