FAITH CAPSULE: One that gives self to the word of God turns to God.
John 1
God creates all to exist for His glory and honor.
What or who are you turning to in this wicked world?
The word of God is God. One that gives self to the word of God turns to God.
All should turn to God.
There is no reason not to turn to God.
Among reasons to turn to the word of God are:
THE WORD OF GOD DELIVERANCE
Genesis 19:17 records the word of deliverance for Lot and his wife, “…Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.”
Lot turned to the word of God, but his wife did not turn to the word of God.
Genesis 19:26 records, “But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.”
One that turns to the word of God looks to God for deliverance.
The wife of Lot turns away from God to become terminated.
RESPONSIBILITY TURN TO GOD
The limitation of relationship with God is the evidence of the limited time you study the word of God evidence not turn to God.
Romans 15:4 informs all, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”
Why not give yourself to studying the word of God, to know and not turn away from Him?
Turn from the world to the word of God to know the truth.
John 8:32 admonishes all, “…YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH.”
It is the responsibility of all to know God, the truth.
LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD
Listen to the word of God, and turn to His word.
Turning to the word of God shall lead to deliverance from shame to joyful celebration.
At the wedding at Cana of Galilee, when the celebration ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus advised the servants of Jesus “…whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5)
In every way of life, turn to the word of God by listening to Him, and testimony shall not experience shame. Turn to God!
ASK TO BE TURNED TO GOD.
Running after a man in the place of not turning to God is not evidence of knowing God.
Get to KNOW GOD by TURNING to Jesus!
Paul points out that Jesus is for all to turn away from iniquities to Him. Acts 3:26 records, “To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”
Today, pray the prayer of the Psalmist for yourself as:
Psalm 119:37 records, “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.”
Turn to the word of God, and give yourself to Him in His word to live life by His word.
Prayer for today: Ask God that His word shall become established in your life.
