Please read Proverbs 20.
Meditate on verses 5, 7,
24, and 27.
A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, but a man of
understanding draws it out.
A righteous man who walks in his integrity— how blessed are his sons
after him.
Man’s steps are ordained by the LORD. How then can man understand his
way?
The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, searching all the innermost
parts of his being.
How do you orient your
life as a person of God and understand His plans for your life? If you are a
Christian, your spirit is resurrected, and the LORD lives in you as His new
temple (1 Corinthians 3:16). You live by the Spirit and keep in step with the
Spirit (Galatians 5:25). You can set your mind on the Spirit and have the desires
of the Spirit. The Spirit Himself testifies with your spirit that you are God’s
children, and you can cry out, “Abba! Father!” (Romans 8:14- 17, 26-27). God
reveals Himself and His ways through the Holy Spirit and the Word.
The verses in Proverbs 20 are
great foundation stones for you to build upon.
§ Your spirit is in
communion with the LORD searching out the depths of your life (v. 27).
§ God is the one who
orchestrates the steps of your life and wants you to understand the way He has
planned for you (v. 24).
§ The plans deep within you,
if Godly, can be realized with God’s
understanding and drawn out like a person at a well bringing up water (v. 5).
§ Walking with God in
integrity has generational blessings (v. 7).
Pray Proverbs 20:5, 7, and
24 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful
watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, give 
and me the understanding
and me the understanding
to draw out the deep plans You
have placed in our hearts.
Let us walk in integrity, so our children will be blessed.
Ordain our steps, LORD. Let us understand Your way.
In Your name, Jesus~”
