Proverbs 16 - Offer your plans to God!

Proverbs 16 is a really powerful book! So while I was reading it I took down some notes and highlighted some keep verses.

1: The first verse is interpreted in two basic ways according to different versions of the bible. Traditional King James says "The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD." while several other versions interpret this verse more closely as "The preparations of the heart belong to man,But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. "
The next verse says that the Lord is the judge in anything we do, and h judges by weighing the spirit of what we planned. Some people do wrong and don't think twice, but God is Just and the motives that drive their actions are made visible to him. So we should always check our motivation behind our plans and actions.
So as in v3, commit everything you do to the Lord, and your motives will be follow in line. No matter what happens after remember God is in control.
Make your plans (under the submission of God) and your steps in turn will be directed by him [v9].
Its best to Gain what you do with honor than to rush past God's time line [8,12].
"How much Better is it to get wisdom than gold! to choose understanding rather silver! .. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall"
There is a way that seemes right unto a man, but the ends of it is destruction. [v25]
"He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city"[v32]
