FAITH CAPSULE: Have confidence in God alone.
What kind of a believer are you?
Live life by the word of God to claim His promise.
The believers quote or talk more of the word of God than walking by the word of God.
Abraham walked by the word of God to claim the blessings of God.
He directed his servant, “…The Lord, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way…” (Genesis 24:40)
Take note, claiming the blessings of God is not by quoting the word of God, not living in the church, but living by the conditions in the word of God.
Abraham lived by the conditions in the word of God.
Are you walking by the WORLD or walking by the word of God?
Pray to live life by the word of God.
In praying, ask from God, not in doubt.
God as a jealous God is the evidence that He is a caring Father.
God is caring and approachable by questioning Him with faith but not with doubtful questions.
Moses, at his waiting on God, questioned God with faith: “…show me now Your way, that I may know You…” (Exodus 33:13)
Knowing God is personalizing God as a father who cares to act for one who waits on Him.
God responds to Moses, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Exodus 33:14)
Do you know God or know about Him?
It is not enough to know God by mouth but by the heart.
Seek God diligently, and live life for God to find Him.
God alone brought you this far.
The goodness and mercy of God have brought you this far.
In challenging times, keep to the word of God (walking along with God).
Having patience rooted in faith should be the vehicle.
Challenging is troubling and should not prompt one to rely on anyone but God.
Proverbs 25:19 warns, “Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.”
Have confidence in God alone.
Trust and hope for the mercy of God to see you through this time, living life for the glory of God.
Meditate prayerfully that this month shall be for continual reliance on God in all endeavors.
Relying on God provokes victory of God.
Relying on God is waiting on God.
There is no shame in waiting on God.
God acts for the one who waits for Him. (Isaiah 64:4)
Gain the attention of God by waiting on Him.
Psalm 25:3 states, “Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed…”
Waiting on God endures a period of not knowing how long to get an answer from God.
Waiting on God cannot be a waste of time.
God will answer with yes, wait, or no.
In a time of waiting, among what to exercise as a believer are:
Be courageous; trust and hope; rest in the Lord; be patient for Him; do not fret; keep His way; let your soul wait silently.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live by the word of God, waiting on God alone.
