WHAT YAHWEH ALLOWS AND WHAT HE DESIRES
SCRIPTURE
PROVERBS 16:1-9
1The plans of the heart belong to man,
but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
but the Lord weighs the spirit.[a]
3 Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established.
4 The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
even the wicked for the day of trouble.
5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
be assured, he will not go unpunished.
6 By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,
and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.
7 When a man's ways please the Lord,
he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness
than great revenues with injustice.
9 The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps.

WISDOM
The Hebrew word for desire is "teshuqah" meaning what is wanted. According to my understanding what we want is not necessary, what is best for us, or what God desires for us. The scripture states if we commit our works to the Lord, our way will be established, we should talk to our Father about all things and He does not force us to do his will so he allow us to follow our own decision but when a man's way pleases the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. So bottom line is what Yahweh allows us to do is not always what He wants for our life. Follow His instructions!!!

This is a good word right here. A lot of people misunderstand God's allowance with His approval and they are not the same.
How great is our God? He is so great that what he allows will lead to his true desires ,his ultimate purpose will be accomplished. Great word is Jualdene Fox-Kitt
