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.
1. Your spirit is in
communion with the LORD searching out the depths of your life (v. 27).
2. 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).
3. 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).
4. 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
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~”
