When God Says …
“As in water face answereth to face, So the heart of man to man.” (Proverbs 27:19 KJV)
This pictures a man looking in the water which reflects his face back to his face. And, it is likened to a man's heart reflecting who he is as a man. As you look into stirred water you see a crumpled blurry reflection of you. And, on a still water you see a placid image of your face. This illustration tells us that when the state of the heart is heavy, it can be seen in the expressions of a man's face and manifest by his body language.
A troubled heart glares in the countenance of a person in many ways. Hence, it is of the utmost to guard our heart, be prayerful always and be at peace. Regularly reflect upon the holy and written Word of God, which is symbolized by water, as well (John 7:38). God's Word, who is Jesus Himself (John 1:1; John 1:14), through apostle Paul reminds: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7 NIV)
And, in Christ Jesus, in His Lordship by grace through faith, we have this comforting promise: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” (John 14:27 ESV)
And I Say, AMEN!
