When God says...
“Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; But a man of understanding will draw it out.” (Proverbs 20:5 KJV)
Embedded in the deep sanctum of our heart is God's counsel or plan or purpose for our lives. That's the plan that God has established before we were born. Likened with deep water, He sets it in the core of our being when He molded us in our mother's womb. Here's what the Lord's words said to Jeremiah: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 NIV)
Like Jeremiah (who was appointed by God for a high call before taking his first heartbeat in his mother's womb), we too have a very, very special appointment for a unique and extraordinary mission (like no other) to carry out on this planet. Yes, a spectacular one! Not mediocre! This passage reveals that only by understanding this plan of God for our life can it be drawn out and brought to manifestation.
We need understanding guided by the Spirit of the Lord through His Words to exploit His excellent plan for us. And, the moment we accept the Lordship of Christ Jesus in our life, by faith in Him, we have this assurance from His holy and written Word: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you. Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him.” (Psalms 32:8-10 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!
