Proverbs 23:26 -- On Hearts and Ways

"My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways."
Proverbs 23:26


I like this verse because God is asking us to trust him with our hearts, and follow his example, and he will help us find the right way, and help heal and change our hearts so that they become pure and perfect, rather than leaving them broken.

We so often misunderstand God's messages to us as demands for subservience, when in reality they are offers to lead, help, and save us.  Being worried about power struggles with God is pretty hilarious anyway.  Humility just helps us acknowledge reality, and where we can get help... it doesn't make us any less.  God is trying to lift us, not step on us. :)

Today, let's be willing to give our hearts to God, and to study his ways, so that we can learn and emulate him as he leads us to salvation.
