Proverbs 19:21, “There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.”
Man’s heart is deceitful, selfish, fickle, changing its mind frequently. It also can be kind, thoughtful, and forgiving. Up, down, all around – describes the heart of a man. Sin seems to be rampant today. What was immoral a few years ago is now moral, and to do right is considered intolerant and wrong. Men’s minds change with the whims of the circumstances of life. There doesn’t seem to be anything that is stable in our world today! Just watch the evening news if you question this statement.
How thankful we should be for the counsel of the LORD. That never changes. The Bible is absolute truth that will stand forever. What is right today will be right tomorrow – you can count on it.
To combat these evil devices in the hearts of men we need to know the Word of God. This can only be done through a consistent and diligent study of the Bible. We need to BELIEVE and STAND on what the Scripture says. God cannot lie, so every word in the Bible is truth. God’s Word is forever settled in heaven. There should be no vacillating, or wavering, or up and down, and all around confusion in a Christian’s life. Of all people, we should be the most stable. We know the truth and we know that what God says will never change!
Let’s live lives that demonstrate this truth to the world!
