Proverbs 20:24 A man’s steps are of the LORD
In our quest to use Proverbs 20 to define the characteristics of a faithful man, we come to verse 24. Indeed, without this one undergirding all the others, he has no chance of being a faithful man.
A faithful man’s steps are of the LORD. The NASB says ordained by the LORD. This is his greatest asset! He understands his dependence on GOD.
He understands from Jeremiah 10:23, that it is not within man to direct his own steps.
Psalm 119:133 Direct my steps by Your word. He understands that direction is found in the pages of Scripture.
The faithful man is a follower of GOD. This is his most important characteristic.
Psa 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.
