As in Water Face Answereth to Face (Proverbs 27:19)

2023-06-07

As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. (Proverbs 27:19)

The water reflects the face; the man reflects what is in his heart. For the man with an evil eye, the Scripture says, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7).

The heart of man is the real man. Just like the reflection is just an image of a person, the heart of a man is the real man. The natural state of the human heart is wicked.

This is why we must concede that the regenerated man’s heart will be reflected in his way of life. We may all be at different stages, but the Lord will lead His redeemed to the higher ground of a holy life. Please lead us to a holier life.
