FAITH CAPSULE: Who do you commit to for getting help?
1 Samuel 13
Jesus selected few to walk with Him day and night.
The few elected to walk with Him is not evidence for Him to commit to anyone.
Jesus could not commit Himself to any man.
The Bible records, “But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men.” (John 2:24)
The documentation of the experience of Jesus is for all to learn.
Are you studying instead of reading the word of God to learn?
Study the experience of Jesus, do not look over the word by committing yourself to no one.
Do you commit to someone?
Who do you commit to for getting help?
God is indeed the Caring taker of caretaker.
God does not fail.
God waits to act when we wait on His committed love and caring.
Isaiah 64:4 testifies to 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.”
God is enough to be committed to His help, not to anyone.
God alone is the Helping helper of man that has never failed.
Looking for help from the wrong sources is evidence of limiting God for His loving care.
Your help will not come from where you are looking or will it come from your thinking.
King Saul became the King over the children of Israel.
Having been confirmed, he began to think and look for help from the people around him.
Saul was to fight the Philistines, but he could not wait for the Prophet of God with direction to carry out the burnt offering.
Saul disobeyed the law of God by engaging burnt offering that was only to be carried out by Samuel, the priest of God.
Samuel confronted Saul about the presentation of the burnt offering,“…What have you done?” Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, then I said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD.’ Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.” (1 Samuel 13:11-12)
Committing to man instead of meditating on the testimonies of the care of God will compel one to become a failure like King Saul.:
Meditate on what God can do, what He has done, and what He is doing. God is enough to look up to for help.
God alone has brought you this far, and He will not leave you, and He shall not forsake you.
Are you wondering where your help will come to become for you?
Help from God is sure and unfailing for one that will be committed to God alone.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you not to commit to anyone but only to Him.
