Proverbs 20:5
The purposes of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out.
O my Father, I pray for all those whose purposes are still buried so deep that they need a "man of understanding" to draw them out. We all have hearts that deceive us, and we think we know why we do the things we do; but if we examine ourselves, we will find that we are still in the dark about our true motives. I question myself, "Why did I say that?" "Why did I do that?" To find a counselor who can ask the right questions of us is a great treasure. When we get to know ourselves, then we can make the correct choices to do and say what God has planned for us to do and say, and accomplish His purposes for us, as part of His plan; and we will reap the benefits, and God will get the glory, the credit for planning it all out and accomplishing it through us.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
