Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the Word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with fleshly tablets of our hearts as we pick up in Proverbs chapter 21

verse one and now with today's message here's Pastor Chuck.

Shall we turn down 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 whether so ever he will.

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 sluoshes were, of course, to turn the water and 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.
