FAITH CAPSULE: Are you one that wants to claim the promise of God in His word?
Exodus 3
One that can listen to the word of God will understand and see the word of God.
One that can see in the word of God will receive the promise of God to become of such.
The promise of God is undeniable for all that listen, see, and receive the word of God.
His promise belongs to any that sees in His word.
Faith is to focus on the promise of God.
God was and is not talkative.
God will not become a garrulous God from eternity to eternity.
Awesome gracious God is a loving and longsuffering God.
God acts for His children that wait on Him.
Isaiah 64:4 buttresses, “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 promised to deliver the Israelites from the bondage of over four hundred, “So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.” (Exodus 3:8)
The promise of God for the Israelites was a process with the demand of faith that demonstrates seeing by looking up to God regardless of the challenges of the enemies.
The promise of God is in the word of God that does not return void but shall accomplish what pleases God and shall prosper in the thing which God sent. (Isaiah 55:11)
Unfortunately, one hears promises but ignores paying attention to challenges in the process of the promise of God.
Are you one that wants to claim the promise of God in His word but ignores the challenges in the process of the promise of God?
The challenge will come with the process, but one should rest in God by beholding Him.
The Israelites paid attention to the enemy instead of beholding God, as Exodus 14:9-10 records, “So the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon. And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid…”
Beholding the enemy is an avenue to fear and encases self-destruction.
The promise of God always remains unchanging, while beholding challenges will lead one out of the promise of God.
All the Israelites that left Egypt, from twenty years old and above, did not get to the promise of God by beholding challenges.
Beholding enemies will lead to rebellion and complaints that is evil before God.
Prayer for today: Ask that you will see to know the rest in the promises of God.
