Old Testament Verse

The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will be established.
Proverbs 19:21

New Testament Verse

So when they had come together, they asked Jesus, "Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?" He replied, "It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:6-8

Prayer

Sovereign God, your plans and purposes stand firm forever. You know how I dislike it when plans do not work out as I had hoped. Yet, amid setbacks you open doors to wonderful opportunities for me. I trust you to fulfill your purposes for me. Make me a powerful witness of your goodness and your eternal kingdom. Amen.
