Proverbs 16: God has the last word.

 In Proverbs 16 we read:

1 Mortals make elaborate plans,

    but God has the last word.

9 We plan the way we want to live,

    but only God makes us able to live it.

The Lord has given our capability to elaborate plans, but it is in the hand of the Lord that our plans succeed or not. It is somehow difficult to remember that God has the last word.

6 Guilt is banished through love and truth;

    Fear-of-God deflects evil.

My guilt is banished through the Lord's love. However, I must fear the Lord to deflect evil.

26 Appetite is an incentive to work;

    hunger makes you work all the harder.

The Lord created a great incentive to work: the hunger. 

32 Moderation is better than muscle,

    self-control better than political power.

It is easy to loose control and do silly things. The one who controls himself (don´t loose temper) is more valued more than a political leader.
