FAITH CAPSULE: One that submits to God in the face of turning the situation around, God will subdue on behalf of such. 

Exodus 20:1-21

All that the Lord God asks from all is to comply with His commands. 
God does not ask for more or less but complete obedience. 
He has set His standard in obedience to His word with no disobedience.
Jesus strongly and repeatedly emphasized hearing and obeying the word of God. 
His mother and brother sought Him, but He could not reach Him because of the crowd. 
The Bible records the response of Jesus, “But He answered and said to them, ‘My mother and My brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.’” (Luke 8:21) 
If there was any way to emphasize obeying the word of God, Jesus has presented it above and beyond. 
Despite that, obeying the words of God has been reduced to the minimum, and obeying His words continues to be the least among us who confess Christ as our Lord and Savior. 
The act of heart is wickedness. 
God is a merciful God.
The mercy of God means God is compassionate and kind.
Just as power belongs unto God, mercy also belongs to God. 
God will move, and He will not fail to respond just as He did not look over the acts of disobedience of the children of Israel. 
God once said to the children of Israel in Jeremiah 2:19, “Your wickedness will correct you, and your backslidings will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and the fear of Me is not in you, says the LORD of hosts.” 
What the children of Israel did that led them into captivity is what the church today is doing today. 
Know to serve God in deed and truth complete submission to God.
God gave the Ten Commandments to all, but not many dutifully complied with them. 
The mercy of God is obtainable when one fears God.
Do you fear God by mouth or by your heart?
A heart that is not mindful of God is not possible to have fear for God.
Psalm 103:17 records for learning, “But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him…” Luke 1:50, “And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.” 
To fear God will undoubtedly gain the mercy of God.
One with the fear of God loves God, living by His word. 
With understanding, know to fear God so His mercy will reign and rule your life.
All that the Lord God asks from all is to comply with His commands. 
Give yourself to the word of God, live life with the fear of God, to experience His mercy.

Prayer for today: Give thanks to God for Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior, the redeemer of man.
