Proverbs 20:24-25 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“A man’s steps are of the Lord; How then can a man understand his own way? It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy, And afterward to reconsider his vows.” (Proverbs 20:24, 25 NKJV)

He takes us to a place of awareness that in order for us to arrive at the place where God wants us to be, from wherever we are, our steps must be led by The Lord. As a man of the world, we are like a blind groping in the dark. And, let's beware! The world is a minefield of the devil's traps and snares of temptations, tests and tribulations. We need the leading of the One who sees the end from the beginning. We need the One who can help us navigate safely through the perilous maze. Our steps must be ordered of The Lord. How can we understand our way as a man? Sin faltered man’s rhythm into a drunken stupor. Our eyes could be blurred by the sights of the world's merchandise. Unfiltered by God’s holy and written Words, our thoughts run wild, with lips rash in its vows and promises, but quick to dishonor it. That's the way of the man made of clay, separated from his Creator.

But the blood of the Lamb made us a new being in spirit by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. As we welcome Him in our life, His Spirit lives in us to guide our lips and steps that we may walk circumspectly, with lips declaring praise and honor unto the name of Jesus, the Name above all names. His Words through Apostle Paul charge us with this call: "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God." (Ephesians 5:15-21 NKJV)

And I say, AMEN!
