Proverb A DAy

What Do We See Mirrored In Our Hearts?  Proverbs 27:19

10/10/2012

4 Comments

 
"As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects man."  Proverbs 27:19

How do you know what a man truly is?  According to today's proverb this is known simply by knowing his heart.  It is not the outside image that someone presents to us that truly reflects who they are.  It is what they are in their hearts that matters - and that truly reflects who they are. 

When we bend over and look into a calm pond on a clear day, we will see reflected in water the image of our face.  That image will be a faithful reproduction of who we are - at least what our face looks like.  We can trust what we see in that image.  Then we read that just in the way that this happens - the heart of man reflects man.  But the question we need to ask is this, "What do we see when we look into the heart of man?"

The answer to the above question has everything to do with when you are looking into the heart of man.  At times we look into the heart of man and we see very wonderful things.  The heart of man can reflect the glory of God.  The heart of men can experience the depths of love, compassion, kindness, and relections of the God who created us.  At other times we might cringe in horror as we see the depths of depravity in the wars and atrocities that have existed in the heart of men.  The heights and depths we see from the magnificent beauty in a painting or a poem to the darkness of the most horrendous acts of violence and injustice must give pause to some who do not have the perspective of the Scriptures from which to understand these tremendous differences.

The Word of God helps us understand why mankind has such a Jekyll and Hyde history.  We are the direct creation of Almighty God, and as such have astrounding capacities that reflect His character and person.  Yet, we sold our birthright for a mess of porridge, when our head, Adam, chose to disobey God.  That moment in history is called, the Fall.  Without the Scritpures we will not grasp how far we fell in that moment.  The glory of God we were to reflect was marred.  The result is a world in which death reigns - and in which we see the heart of man at one moment blessing someone, and in the next cursing them.  James tells us, out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing, my brothers, this should not be.  Yet because of sin that is what happens.  This reflects our hearts - for Jesus Himself said, "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." 

The heart of man reflects the man.  That is the reality in which we live every day.  And if we are honest with ourselves, we are often shocked at the things that are in our hearts.  We may want to do the good, but in the end the very evil we hate seems to rule in our hearts.  We may do good one moment - and in the next find ourselves with the most heinous of thoughts running through our minds.  What are we to do?  The heart reflects to us that we are fallen - we are sinful - we are in need of change.  In this regard, and this one alone, I encourage you to listen to your heart.  You will not hear such things unless the Holy Spirit is convicting you of the sin which is indicatve of our fall from God.  Listen to what God is saying to your heart - and embrace the truth.  This truth is that your heart reflects that you are guilty before God - in need of His mercy and grace.  The truth is that you need the grace of God in the gospel of Jesus Christ.  You need your sins to be forgiven and to be made acceptable in God's sight by what Jesus Christ did at the cross.  You need new life - to be born again - and to experience God's life which is the only life that can change us and reflect a different image in our hearts. 

Jeremiah the prophet brought us a message from God.  His message was that the heart of man is deceitful above all else, and is desperately wicked.  No one can understand his own heart.  But God is the one Who searches the heart - Who helps us understand our need - and Who then meets that need in what He has done through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  If we can only see our hearts in that light - in the light of the mirror of God's Word - then as our heart is reflected to us, we'd see our need and run to Jesus Christ for forgiveness, grace, and new life.

Living By Sense or Sensuality? Proverbs 15:14

4/15/2011

0 Comments

 
The mind of the intelligent seeks knowledge, But the mouth of fools feeds on folly. Proverbs 15:14

Here we have a comparison between the mind and thinking of the intelligent and the mouth of fools.  One thinks and comtemplates on things while the other is far more interested in what he will say than what fills his mind.  Let's take a few moments then today to see what the intelligent man as well as the fool can offer as far as instruction.

Who is this intelligent man?  He is the thinker for he wants to discern.  He is observing and paying attention to what is before him, what is said to him, and what he sees in others.  He considers things diligently because in the end he desires the knowledge that only God can give him.  We read here that he is seeking knowledge.  "Daath" which is the Hebrew word for knowledge here means that he seeks to have knowledge by experience, relationship, and encounter.  He is not content with a knowing that is in his head alone.  That is why this particular statement is interesting to me.  It is the mind of this man that wants knowledge.  In other words, even though he is a thinker, thinking is not all that he wants to do.  He wants a thinking that results in action.  Some refer to "daath" kind of knowledge as a path or a way that one walks - thus a lifestyle.  So our thinker is contemplating and discerning a way to walk out his life. 

The fool here is living for a much more sensuous journey.  We know this because he is not contemplating or thinking - but merely feeding on something.  The word "feeding" means to graze in a pasture.  The fool is not using his mind - he is using his mouth.  He is spending his time grazing on folly.  Since folly (ivoleth) means to be one who hates wisdom and who chooses instead to walk in folly - we see here a man who despises the wisdom and knowledge that God offers.  This word also has a sense in which it also hates the morality that comes from a contemplated life.  He doesn't want to think - he just wants to graze on the contemporary philsophies of the day.  He is content to just feed on what is fed to him by the world system. 

Two paths are taken here - one toward disernment and knowledge - the other toward folly and whatever the world is slopping on his mental plate.  One thinks and considers his path - wanting to experience all that God has for him.  The other is hardly interested in God - unless the common talk is of him, her, or whatever mankind decides is god for the season.  One lifts his head and stops to discern and deeply consider his path - his very lifestyle.  The other pretty much takes the lifestyle that the world dishes out to him daily.  In the end one lives a life of purpose while the other is driven by the spirit of the age.  Consider well reader - for if you live only to consume what the world offers, a fool you will be.  If you think well and often about where you walk and what you do, a rich reward of wisdom will be yours - and that from God Himself.

Heart Relationship as Opposed to Mere Religion . . . Proverbs 2;10

10/2/2010

0 Comments

 
For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; Proverbs 2:10

God wants us to have a "heart" religion - and not just one that affects our heads on certain days.  Here we have Solomon speaking to us about having wisdom enter our hearts and knowledge becoming pleasant to our mind, will, and emotions.  This is the kind of work that the Lord wants to do in us.  Let's take a closer look at what it means to have this happen - and the reason it is not such an easy task.

First of all - as with all things in a Biblical worldview, sin has made things diffiicult because it has ruined us.  We learn from the prophets that we currently have a heart of stone.  One of the promises of the new covenant is that God will remove from us this heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh.  The sign of this is that God will have written His commandments on our hearts - and we will want to obey Him.  Part of this process also comes when we seek the Lord and desire to know Him and the wisdom that comes from having His Word before our eyes.  In Proverbs 2 we see the pursuit of God's Word - and the passion that Solomon had for it.  This is a work of grace because we read in 1 Peter 1 that we are to long for the Word like a newborn babe longs for its mother's milk.  When that work of grace happens - the Word of God will dwell within us richly - and in time - it will enter our hearts.  This work of God's grace will encsure that wisdom too will enter our hearts. 

To have wisdom from the Word in our hearts is vital.  Jesus said that it is out of the abundance of what is in the heart that the mouth speaks.  That is why it is so important to have wisdom enter our hearts.  The heart is also the wellspring of our being.  Whatever reigns in our hearts will reign in our lives.  That is why we don't just want a small helping of the Word of God - but we want it to dwell richly within us.  We want an abundance of the Word in us - and we want it to powerfully speak to us as we seek the Lord and desire to hear from Him through His Word.

The second precious work we read of here is having knowledge from God become pleasant to our soul.  The word here for knowing is the Hebrew word "daath" and it means a knowing by experience, encounter, and relationship.  This is not just having a mental knowing in our heads - it is truly knowing God in an intimate relationship with Him.  We have encountered God Himself - we've experienced Him - and as a result of our former and continued encounters with Him - we know wisdom.

What is even more precious to me about this verse is that we learn that this intimate knowing of God Himself will become pleasant to our souls.  The word used here is "naem" and it means something sweet, beautiful, pleasing, comfortable, and delightful.  Remember that when we read of a work in our souls - we are talking about a work in our mind, will, and emotions. 

When wisdom enters our hearts - knowing God will be pleasant to our minds.  Before this work of grace we were opposed to God - and the thought of someone having ultimate authority in our lives yielded rebellion and resentment.  Our minds were disturbed by the thought of someone who knows our every thought and deed.  It was anything but comforting to know that we would stand in the judgment and give an account for every word, thought, motive, and deed.  Our response to such things was anything but pleasant.

When wisdom enters our hearts - knowing God will be pleasant to our will.  Here is an interesting study in the Scriptures.  Before a work of God's grace happens in our hearts, obedience to God is anything but pleasant and delightful to us.  We are born rebels and our status as such is confirmed again and again by our response to God's Law.  God's Law reveals to us that we are sinners - that we do not find submission to God pleasant.  We rebel against it and do not do the things that His Word says to do.  If any one passage of Scripture bears this out it is Romans chapter 7.  There Paul reminds us that the things we want to do, we don't do - but the very prohibitions of the Law are what we choose to do.  Paul's cry at the end of that chapter is that he is a wretched man who desperately needs deliverance from sin.  But when God does that work through Jesus Christ our Lord, we find that a transformation has taken place - and that transformation continues as we walk with God, indeed finding an intimate walk with God pleasant to our will. 

When wisdom enters our hearts - knowing God will be pleasant to our emotions.  Our emotions can be a source of amazing blessing as well as a source of untold problems.  Some wind up with their emotions far more in control of their lives than they are in control of their emotions.  We find ourselves on an emotional high during which we would do anything for the Lord.  But then we find ourselves in the same week with an emotional state, that if we let it control us, will render us almost incapable of doing anything.  Here is where wisdom is so important to our souls.  When that work of God's grace begins to change us, we learn to tell our emotions that they will not control us.  We enjoy our emotions, but learn not to have them dominate our moods - and our attitude.  That is reserved for God's Word which consistently directs us as the Holy Spirit uses our mind to understand it - our will to choose it - and His power to carry it out.  When that work of God's grace happens, we find knowing God in our emotions a delightful thing.  Before you think that emotions are a bad thing - I want to remind you that David spoke of how his emotions were moved by God Himself - and how he knew the heights of joy as well as the depths of despair - all as he knew the living God in relationship to Him. 

Walking with God is more than just knowing a bunch of principles and ideas.  That kind of thing smells of religion.  God wants a vital relationship with us.  It takes the entrance of wisdom into our hearts for us to move into that precious relationship.  As we seek the Lord, may He give us grace to know such a marvelous intimacy with Him.

Watching Over the Theater of the Mind . . . Proverbs 5:2

3/5/2010

1 Comment

 
That you may observe discretion And your lips may reserve knowledge. Proverbs 5:2

One of the ways that we know that we are being discreet in life is by what comes out of our mouths when we speak.  What is fascinating about this passage is that the overall gist of the fifth chapter of Proverbs is that it deals primarily with the issue of immorality and those who fall into the trap the adulteress. 

One of the reasons why we need to gain wisdom and understanding is so that we may watch out to be discreet.  The word "observe" in this passage means to guard and be careful.  Zhodiates states that this word basically means to be on your guard.  What you are guarding is "discretion."  Yet the word is different than the discretion that is mentioned most often in the book of Proverbs.  It means a thought - or the thoughts in our minds that are used to make up our plans.  There is one major point though that needs to be distinguished about this word.  It most often means evil plans and schemes that are contrary to God's ways.  What Solomon is warning his son to watch out for in life is evil plans and schemes that begin to formulate in his mind.

When it comes to maintaining purity in our lives, what happens in our heads is vitally important.  We need to watch over our minds and what is running through them.  Actions begin as thoughts - which in time turn into plans and schemes.  The reason we watch and guard our minds is to make sure that when lust and immoral thoughts try to push in - we deal with them.  It is not just enough to push these thoughts out - we need to bring them to the cross.  The Word tells us to mortify these things - and that means to kill them!  Nothing short of this will do. 

The second half of this proverb says that when we watch over the development of evil plans and schemes in our heads - it will help us to watch over our mouths.  Our mouths will speak "a knowing" when we guard our minds.  This knowing is once again primarily a discernment - but one that is specific to the situation.  Remember that here this refers to sexual immorality and the wiles of the adulteress.  We are warned in the very next verse that the adulteress captures men with her words and her flattery.  These things often cause men to be deceived in their hearts and minds.  The flattery of a woman giving them attention strokes their pride and their ego - something very dangerous to a man who doesn't watch what enters and walks through his mind.  In time his pride and ego can lie to him and fill his mind with thoughts of further flattery.  He begins wanting to spend more time with this woman - at lunch and eventually at secret meetings he keeps from his wife.  We all know where this is going - toward an eventual adulterous relationship with this woman.  Yet the real danger started with the thoughts that ran through his mind - and the words he began to speak to this woman because he didn't watch and guard against the adulterous thoughts that were fostered in his head.  He may not wake up until the damage is irrepairable. 

It is vital to our spiritual progress and protection to keep a close eye on what is going through our minds.  This is the stuff that can cause us serious problems.  What begins in just a seed form in our minds will eventually sprout and bear disastrous fruit.  Better to deal with seeds by being wise - than have to cut down entire forests because of a lack of watchfulness.
