Proverbs - The Lord Directs


Proverbs 16:9

 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

Oftentimes we have ideas and plans that enter our hearts.  We bring these before the Lord and we seek Him to direct our steps.  The steps are the outward manifestation of the inward ideas.  In order to reach a destination we have to travel.  The Lord wants to direct each step of the ideas that come into our hearts.  We should acknowledge Him in all of our ways and be sensitive to the leading of His Holy Spirit.  He will tell us what to do first, what is not important and what is a priority.  As He led His people through the wilderness, the Lord continues to be the One who can lead us through each of our days.  We must not be stubborn on the way we like to approach things but be flexible and yielding to His leading.  He knows of obstacles and opportunities we might be blind to.  Oh Lord, lead us in Your ways.  Show us how to carry out the ideas and plans You put in our hearts.
