Dependence » Human weakness renders men dependent upon God
I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.
O our God, will you not be their judge? for our strength is not equal to this great army which is coming against us; and we are at a loss what to do: but our eyes are on you.
If the Lord is not helping the builders, then the building of a house is to no purpose: if the Lord does not keep the town, the watchman keeps his watch for nothing.
O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps.
And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.
Not as if we were able by ourselves to do anything for which we might take the credit; but our power comes from God;
Man » The ways of man
O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps.
For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he puts all his goings in the scales.
Every way of a man seems right to himself, but the Lord is the tester of hearts.
All a man's ways are clean to himself; but the Lord puts men's spirits into his scales.
Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, or your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
But you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Give ear, now, O children of Israel; is my way not equal? are not your ways unequal? When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him; in the evil which he has done death will overtake him. Again, when the evil-doer, turning away from the evil he has done, does what is ordered and right, he will have life for his soul. read more.
Because he had fear and was turned away from all the wrong which he had done, life will certainly be his, death will not be his fate. But still the children of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O children of Israel, are my ways not equal? are not your ways unequal? For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil.

But the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: when it is they whose way is not equal. When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him in it. And when the evil man, turning away from his evil-doing, does what is ordered and right, he will get life by it. read more.
And still you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O children of Israel, I will be your judge, giving to everyone the reward of his ways.

Man » Cannot direct his ways
O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps.
A man's steps are of the Lord; how then may a man have knowledge of his way?
