Pro 21:1 | MHM | STEP | The Heart of the King Is in the Hand of the LORD This section teaches us that God is in control of everyone, even rulers. People may have their own plans, but God can guide their choices to fulfill His own purposes. No one, not even a king, is outside of God's power. This truth helps us trust that God is always in charge, even when things seem uncertain. v. 1 : The Bible says, The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord ; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases . This means that God can change a person’s thoughts and desires. Just as a farmer uses channels to guide water through his field, God can guide people’s actions, even if they do not realize it. This does not take away their freedom, but it means God’s plans will always happen. Even kings, who have great power and keep many secrets, are under God’s control. God sees what is in their hearts, and He can direct them to do what He wants. Kings may seem powerful, but they are what God allows them to be. He can put ideas into their hearts, as shown in God put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose (Revelation 17:17; Ezra 7:27 ).
