Deep Water Purposes

Wednesday, December 15, 2010

“The purposes of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out.” Proverbs 20:5

Have you had strong purposes in your heart, but are unable to articulate those purposes or maybe you are unsure how to achieve or implement the purpose(s). As we visited about yesterday, deep waters can be dark, murky and/or stale. These dark waters often contain algae, mud, fauna and whatever else, hampering the clarity of our purposes, lack of clarity hinders fully defining the purposes. When our purposes are hidden in deep waters, we are frustrated in expecting the greatness, while the uncertainty remains.

The Bible, the pure Word of God, says a man of understanding is able to draw out our purposes. Who are men of understanding? They are men (and women) in your life who are in the Word, praying, fellowshipping with other believers, and worshipping our Lord. They set-up pumps, through conversation, that draw and filter your deep waters, your deep thoughts. The murkiness and residue of doubt, complacency and whatever else are removed; light illuminates your purified water, displaying your clarified purposes.

Find a friend of understanding, draw out your purposes from deep water; clarifying them to achieve God’s Will for your life.

See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!
