Proverbs 16:32-33

³² He who is slow to be angry is better than a man of war, and he who has control over his spirit than he who takes a town.

³³ A thing may be put to the decision of chance, but it comes about through the Lord.

To overcome our own passions, requires more steady management, than obtaining victory over an enemy.

Commentary on Proverbs 16:33

(Read Proverbs 16:33)

All the disposal of Providence concerning our affairs, we must look upon to be the determining what we referred to God; and we must be reconciled to them accordingly. Blessed are those that give themselves up to the will of God; for he knows what is good for them.
