Proverbs 21:1 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.” (Proverbs 21:1 NKJV)

He uses an amazing metaphor in the flowing rivers of water on how He turns the hearts of kings to wherever He wishes. That applies to our hearts, too. I say amazing, as God in His faithfulness, finds His way to direct our path without abrogating our free will. Water flows where path is available. It diverts or overflows when its path is obstructed or a dam is built. But when a new path is found, it fluidly flows through it on its own. Water can't be forced. It finds its way through a path. What we can do to divert it is by making a new channel.

God does the same with our hearts. Like water, God will not force kings or us, to go His way. He honors the free will He gave us. But, what He does, if we are sensitive to His participation in our life, out of His love He takes our hearts in His hands. He obstructs the way we are headed, which we thought is good, but actually dangerous further down the stream. Then, He opens new and good passageway that leads to favors and blessings. It happens at the moment we rest in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ by receiving His Lordship in our life through faith. As we welcome the Holy Spirit, whom the Father sends to live in us, by His promptings let's just be fluid like water flowing through the floodgate of God's favors. He promised, as it is written: "The lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” (Psalms 32:8 NLT)

And I say, AMEN!
