This is a companion post to a series of previous posts:  The Proverbs & Our Relationship with the Lord (Part 1) 
                                                                                        The Proverbs & Our Relationship with the Lord (Part 2)
                                                                                        The Proverbs & Our Relationship with the Lord (Part 3)
                                                                                        The Proverbs & Our Relationship with the Lord (Part 4)

A proverb is a short, pithy saying that expresses a significant, substantial truth for life.  In the book of the Proverbs, the actual compilation of proverbial statements begins with chapter 10 and extends to the end of the book.  In the following series of posts, I wish to present those proverbial statements that specifically mention our relationship with the Lord.  Certainly, every proverb of God’s Holy Word concerns our relationship with the Lord our God; for every proverb concerns the character of our walk before Him.  Yet the following list of proverbial statements make specific mention of the Lord and of our relationship to Him.  In the first two parts of this study (see above), we considered passages from Proverbs 10-19.  In this part of the study, we shall consider passages from Proverbs 20-21. 
Proverbs 20:10 – “Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.”

Proverbs 20:12 – “The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.”

Proverbs 20:22 – “Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.”

Proverbs 20:23 – “Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.”

Proverbs 20:24 – “Man’s goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?”

Proverbs 20:27 – “The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.”

Proverbs 21:1 – “The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.”

Proverbs 21:2-3 – “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.  To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.”

Proverbs 21:30-31 – “There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.  The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.”
