Proverbs - The Inner Man

Proverbs 20:27

The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.


The spirit of man in this verse is most likely referring to the inner man – that which considers and determines the course we take.  It involves motives, values and perspectives.  This is the candle of the Lord.  He uses our inner man to show us who we really are and why we do what we do.  It is comforting to know that the Lord can use our inner man to show us things and change us.  We must yield our past and our disposition to Him and allow Him to use this to show us deeper reasons for why we do the things we do.  He is our Wonderful Counselor and we can trust Him to do some deep work within us.  Listen to His Spirit speak to your spirit.  He will redirect your perspective.  He will define truth.  He will dispel doubt. He will clarify confusion.  He will lead you to a rock that is higher than yourself.  May the Lord take hold of our spirits today and search us.  He will do good things.
