Just a thought from my devotion this morning...
Proverbs 21:1, "The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it where He will."
Psalm 73:26, "God is the ROCK of my heart." Water is fluid, flowing, smooth; but rock is solid and unmoving. So when the two are brought together, the water flows as directed by the rock. The rock in a streambed defines the boundaries as the water submits to them. Praise God that He is this Rock, unchangeable in truth, unshakeable as my foundation. The obedient heart is that which 1) puts itself willingly into the hand of God, and 2) accepts the boundaries He has set. Because it is the rock that channels the water, and the boundaries that in fact direct our way.
May my heart be as water directed by the Rock: an outpouring, a life-giving source, obedient to the boundaries of the rock that determines my path.
