Read as you listen: Chuck Smith on Proverbs 21

Read the opening of his teaching

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Proverbs 21.

Proverbs 21, Solomon declares:

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will (21:1).

The word "rivers of water" is in the Hebrew "as the water courses." Now in the land of Israel, they had made many sluices for the water by which they could direct the water from the river to their farm areas. And these sluices were, of course, to turn the water to bring it to a desired area. So Solomon is declaring that, in reality, the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord. And even as the king by the water sluices is able to direct the water to where he desires it to be, so God is able to direct the heart of the king according to God's will.
