FAITH CAPSULE: Who do you wait on besides waiting on God?

Isaiah 64

Do you know waiting on God gets a response from God?
The word of God encourages waiting on God, “Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14)
Isaiah 40:10 points out, “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
God will act for those who wait on Him.
Are you waiting on God or with the desire to be waiting on God?
Isaiah 64:4 testifies to the act of God: “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.” 
How are you waiting on God?
Expecting God to act for those who wait on Him comes with conditions.
Isaiah 64:5 Identifies conditions, “You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways…” 
Rejoicing is among the reason to experience the act of God.
REJOICING IS TO WAIT ON GOD FOR HIS ACT
Rejoicing to gain the attention of God is not just by smiling or feeling Good but knowing to trust and hope in God for His acts while waiting on God.
Rejoicing to provoke the act of God while waiting on God is identified through scriptural verses such as: 
Psalm 9:2 records, “I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to your name, O most High.” 
Psalm 16:11, “In Your presence is the fullness of joy…”  
Proverbs 8:30, “…I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him.” The above verses testify to the truth that with joy, one shall experience the acts of God.
The Apostle Paul articulates the need for rejoicing in Philippians 4:4. “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!” 
The Apostle Paul emphasizes rejoicing with a shout will experience the act of God.
Trusting God for His attention demands joy as Psalm 33:21 testifies, “For our heart shall rejoice in Him because we have trusted in His holy name.”
Understanding about rejoicing while waiting and seeking God to experience the act of God is buttressed in Psalm 70:4 “Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You…” 
Are you with the expectation to experience the act of God in your area of expectation?
In your waiting, consciously rejoice continually before God until you gain the experience act of God that never fails.
Gain the faith and know that God is constantly consistent to act according to His word.

Prayer for today: Ask God that you shall always rejoice not to be without joy, waiting on His manifestation in your expectation.

FAITH CAPSULE: Are you turning back to God?

Numbers 32

Turning back to God is a lack of commitment to God.
Commitment to the word of God is not just a religion but living life to the glory of God.
A commitment to the living word of God is engaging a route not to fail in the life journey.
Are you truthful to yourself living by the word of God?
Anyone with a commitment to the word of God is with an understanding of seeking God diligently. 
In the journey of life, a failure not to give self to the promise of God is turning back to God, the lack of commitment to the word of God.
In the journey of the Israelites to the Promised Land, the Israelites constantly disobeyed God, turning back to God, the evidence of a lack of commitment to the word of God.
The children of Gad and Reuben wanted to settle for the East side of the Jordan not to cross the Jordan with others.
The choice by the children of Gad and children of Reuben was disobedience, evidence of self-convenience over-commitment to God.
Numbers 32:1-7 documents the disobedient of the children of Gad the children of Reuben, “Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock; and when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that indeed the region was a place for livestock, the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying, 
“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, and Beon, the country which the LORD defeated before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.” Therefore, they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not take us over the Jordan.” And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: “Shall your brethren go to war while you sit here? Now, why will you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?” 
God promised the land that flows with milk and honey, but the children of Gad and the children of Reuben wanted to settle for land with only milk. The multitude of livestock of the Gad must have prompted not wanting to go further in the word of God.
In life, replacing commitment to God with self-convince will not arrive at the promise of God.
Commitment is not convenient, but it is self-sacrifice before God.
One that compromises the word of God is not committed to God.
Are you sincerely committed to the word of God? 
In life, be committed to God and remain connected to the promise of God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with a commitment to God.

FAITH CAPSULE: The written word of God demands to look and learn to gain understanding.

Hebrews 3

One studying the word of God will build to live life before God.
As an acclaimed believer of the word of God, are you reading to study the word of God; to become one that the word of God can be read in you as a true believer of God without the verbal introduction of self as a believer of God?
The word of God should be approached as a mirror continually to address or re-addressing self and live life according to the command of God.
In this wicked world, the word of God is a compass that is available to gain instruction and direction to arrive at the promise of God in the life journey.
Mirror demands from its user to look into it for understanding to dress right while Compass is in place to learn for understanding to move forward in the life journey.
The written word of God demands to look and learn to gain understanding.
Romans 15:4 buttresses, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”  
Are you giving time to learn from the word of God?
Giving time is to gain by arriving at the promise of God. 
Pay attention to instruction and direction in the word of God by following through in the life journey.
Following the word of God will mark one as His disciple. 
Disciple comes with discipline. 
Discipline is keeping the word of God to obtain the promise of God.
Discipline is training that corrects, molds, or perfects one before God.
Dedication comes along with discipline.
It can be painful to grow in discipline but gainful at the end of the life journey.
Keeping the journey with focus is discipline.
The life of the journey is to sail, not to live a life of waste for all that will give self to the word of God continually.
The word of God is in place as a compass that does not comprehend with fail.
The word of God is in place as a mirror to be looking into for self-dressing or re-addressing self to be pleasing God.
Through the pages of the Bible, anyone with the desire to learn from documentation about such as Contentment, Covetousness, Complaint, Compromise, Commitment, Conscience, and Continuity will gain direction and be dressed in the word of God not to become a victim of failure in the journey of life.
The desire to live life by the word of God in the life journey is with the evidence of disciplined.
Are you one with the desire to live life by pleasing God?
Do you have the desire not to be a failure and not arrive at the center of the divine assignment of God for your life?
Have the desire to live life for God.

Prayer for today: Ask that you will not walk outside the word of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Consciously or unconsciously, do not compromise the command of God.

1 Samuel 2:12-36

To do as commanded by God is doing good that counts before God. 
One that knows to do good and not do is compromising the command of God by giving self to sin. (James 4:17)
With understanding, all should know not to compromise the word of God. The children of Eli compromised the word of God. 
Eli failed to train his children enough, and it counted against Eli before God.
The compromise by the children of Eli causes his destiny to become corrupted. 
Compromising God will violate one from the presence of God.
To compromise the command of God is an indication of a lack of fear for God and will open the door for the devil. 
Proverbs 8:13 warns, “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.”
Consciously or unconsciously, do you compromise the command of God?
Before God, there is no legitimate excuse not to do according to the word of God.
In the life journey, compromising the command of God will complicate the life journey of life.
The word of God for all is His command that is not negotiable and is not to be compromised. 
With no exception, all should live life according to the command of God to gain and retain a positive relationship with God. 
One compromising the word of God is redirecting the word of God, not pleasing God the evidence of lack of understanding that serves God diligently.
One that pleases self is serving self but not serving God.
Are you serving God or serving yourself?
Search self to know your stand before God.
Compromising the word of God displeases God.
Compromising the word of God is getting set for self-destruction.
Jesus did not compromise the word of God and do nothing to Himself but for God to please God.
Be encouraged not to compromise the word of God but to please God.
John 8:28-29 records the encouraging word of God for all to please God, “…When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. 29 And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” 
Are you doing according to His command to please Him but to please yourself? 
Do you have faith to please God without compromising His command?
Giving self to the written word of God is to have faith to live life according to His command. 
Hebrews 11:6 buttresses, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Have faith to seek God by living by His word and not be compromising His word.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled not to compromise the command of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: What do you belong to, before God that sees all?

Psalm 10

Are you one that is living life as a fool or as a wicked one?
The fool one and the wicked one are a combination of evil agendas with ways of no fear for God.
Continual evil activities exist where they flock together. 
To them, when evil does not have a place is like an abomination.
Proverbs 13:19 records, “…it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.”
Are you one that is living life as a fool or as a wicked one?
Who is a fool?
Psalm 14:1 identifies the character of fool one, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.” 
Proverbs 1:7 records, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” 
Proverbs 10:23 also identifies the character of fool one, “To do evil is like sport to a fool, but a man of understanding has wisdom.”
Do the above verses describe you or point you out as a fool? 
Who is wicked?
The wicked have nothing good but to do evil.
The conversation of Jeremiah before God identifies the character of the wicked one. 
Jeremiah 12:1-2 records, “Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth but far from their mind.” 
The word of Jeremiah before God points out that having the word in the mouth but not from the heart is wickedness. (Jeremiah 12:1-2)
Psalms 11:5 p record the reaction of God to the wicked one, “The Lord tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.” 
One that is a partial liar or constant liar is a wicked one before God.
One with the choice to search for self should have the understanding to come out of living life as a fool or wicked but to live life for the glory of God.
Living life as a fool or wicked is a sin before God.
God is a longsuffering and merciful God that does not overlook sins and iniquities.
Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 documents what is up for the wicked, ” Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.” 
What do you belong to, before God that sees all?
Come out of sin, avoid not to live life as a fool or as a wicked!

Prayer for today: Ask God to keep you for His glory.
