| February 10, 2002, Sunday Proverbs Chapter 20 It is amazing how God will bring you to a passage in His Word that applies so appropriately and direclty into your current situtation..... ...parenthood, Pr 20:7, "The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him." For "Bread of deceit is sweet to man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel." Justice over deceit. But not our own suggestion of justice but of God's. "Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee" (Pr 20:22). The LORD is the author and finisher. "Man's going are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?" (Pr 20:24). We cannot. We are not omniscient, knowing the future of our lives, mapping the direct course of all we must accomplish. It is an innate impossibility of man to understand and so it is futile. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding./ In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" (Pr 3:5, 6). *end of excerpt* |
