What does it mean when it says: " A Man's Heart Plans His Own Way; But The Lord Directs All Of His Steps " - in, Proverbs Chapter 16?

Proverbs 16 [ verse 9 ]....

In Proverbs Chapter 16 [ verse 9 ] the scripture ( very clearly ) states: " A Man's Heart Plans His Own Way [ Indicating His Own Free Will At All Times ]; But The Lord Directs All Of His Steps [ While Pointing Out, That It Is God Who Draws His Attention To All Of Those Ponderable Choices ] ".

After all, if you would then go back and read verse 4, you would also know that: " The Lord Has Made All For Himself [ To Display His Own Glory ]; Yeah Even The Wicked For His Day Of Destruction [ When Everything, Then, Shall Finally Be Settled ] ".

For instance:

• A Man Might Possess The Heart Of A Storyteller; But What Shall He Write About?
• Another Might Be A Songwriter; But What Kind Of Songs Will He Write?
• Still Another Might Be An Artist; But What Is He Inspired To Draw?
• And The Next Might Be An Actor; But What Part Shall He Then Be Drawn To Play?

What ( really ) is: " That River Of Dreams "?

You see, dear brothers and sisters, ' Each And Every One Of Us Is Faced With A Whole Series Of Life Altering Choices '... and, whether we now understand it or not, There Has Always Been Someone Pulling Upon Those Strings Of Our Own Hearts!

And, in The Book Of Joel Chapter 2 [ Rather Than Billy's Own Song Lyrics ], we can ( quite honestly ) read all of the following:

" And, it shall come to pass afterward, that I Will Pour Out My Own Spirit Upon All Flesh [ Whether Or Not They Are Believers In Me ]; Your Sons and Your Daughters shall Prophesy, Your Old Men shall Dream Dreams, and Your Young Men shall See Visions.

And, also, Upon My Menservants And Upon My Maidservants I Will Pour Out My Own Spirit In Those Days [ For They, Too, Shall Need To Know Far More ].

And, I will show wonders in The Heavens [ Even Before They, Actually, Occur ]; and in The Earth there shall be: Blood [ Indiscriminate And Nationwide Killings ], Fire [ To Uproot Those Spiritually Complacent Ones ], and Pillars Of Smoke [ To Demonstrate My True Foreknowledge And Absolute Authority ].

The Sun [ Whom You Now, Quite Honestly, Worship ] shall be Turned Into Darkness [ To Display Your Own Utter Foolishness ], and The Moon [ Whom You Now, Quite Honestly, Ignore ] into Blood [ As A Sign Of What Is Now Very Soon In Coming ], before The Coming Of The Great And Awesome Day Of The Lord. 

And, it shall come to pass that, Whoever Calls Upon The Name Of The Lord [ Should They Be Wise Enough To Now Even Know It ] Shall Be Saved. 

For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as The Lord has said, Among The Remnant Whom The Lord Calls. " - Joel 2:28-32.
