The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly. ( Proverbs 20:27).
Children of God ccan expect to be led by the Spirit of God. What the above verse means is this: God will enlighten us, He will guide us, through our spirits.
Many times, however, we seek guidance by means other than the way God said. When we do, we get into trouble. We sometimes judge how God is leading by what our physical senses tell us. But nowhere does God say that God will guide us through our physical senses. Too often we look at things from a mental standpoint and endeaver to reason out things. But nowhere does the Bible say God will guide us through our mentality. The Bible does not say that the body is the candle of the Lord, nor that the mind of man is the candle of the Lord. It says that the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord.
God will guide us, He will enlighten us, through our spirits.
