FAITH CAPSULE: God wants all to be responsible with a commitment to His word.
Deuteronomy 10
All should be responsible with a commitment to His word.
Responsibility is the price for greatness when committed to the word of God in the heart, not just in the mouth.
Living a life of responsibility with a commitment to God will consign self to seek God with all heart, soul, and strength. Deuteronomy 4:29 records the consequence of being responsible for seeking God, “…you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
By faith, and commitment to the word God, do not be discouraged by the surrounding world to find God.
By faith is to be living (believe) the word of God by the mouth.
What does God want from all?
Deuteronomy 10:12 identifies, “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.”
One that fears God walks in His way, loves, and serves God diligently.
Do you fear God?
AMONG WHAT GOD WANTS FROM ALL IS TO SEEK GOD DILIGENTLY ARE:
PATIENTS TO WAIT ON GOD
GIVE THANKS TO GOD ALWAYS
PRAISING GOD
PATIENTS TO WAIT ON GOD
Wait on God with no complaint to avoid becoming a failure to receive from God.
God acts for those who wait on Him. Isaiah 64:4 points out, “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.”
One not waiting on God will complain instead of complementing God evidence of the lack of commitment to God and will not arrive at the center of the calling of God.
GIVE THANKS TO GOD ALWAYS
Giving thanks to God is not thinking thanks.
What thing is holding you back from giving thanks to God continually?
Ephesians 5:20 encourages, “Giving thanks always for all things to God…”
Is the delay of your expectation for manifestation shutting your heart of thanksgiving to God?
Are you engaging in worrying?
Know to give thanks for all things, to provoke God for all things to work for you.
Romans 8:28 buttresses, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God…”
The character of love is thanking God.
Despise worrying but worship God with thanksgiving continually.
PRAISING GOD
Praise God with understanding. (Psalm 47:7)
To be alive at the moment of breath is a great grace, the privilege of God but not the right to be alive.
From the depth of the heart, all should know to praise God at every moment of breath.
Praising God is not a show-off.
Praising God is not only in noise-making the identity of knowing about God but not knowing God.
Know God, gain understanding, to praise Him as Psalm 150:6 records, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!”
Prayer for today: Pray to live life by the word of God.
