FAITH CAPSULE: Give yourself to the word of God to become mindful of God.
Psalm 8
Be MINDFUL of God, living life by the word of God.
The word of God is God. (John 1:1)
One full of God (Word) will be MINDFUL of God.
Are you MINDFUL of God or MINDFUL of the world?
How can one who is not of God, the creator, be mindful of a neighbor or family?
Psalm 8:4 records the question of David before God, “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?” God is mindful of man, while man is mindful of the world.
Give yourself to the word of God to be mindful of God, not to become a victim of this wicked world.
Jeremiah 12:1-2 identifies one with a mouthful of the word of God with empty of God in the mind, “Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth But far from their mind.”
One with a mindless place for God will be living life as a wicked one before God.
There is nothing that goes under heaven that God does not see.
God sees and will judge all at His appointed time.
Genesis 6:5-7 records that God recognized the wickedness of all, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
Are you mindful of God or mindful of the world?
Consider that it is time to come out of the world by giving yourself to the word of God.
Give oneself to the word of God to gain entrance into the reality of Christ.
Today, be responsible before God.
Responsibility is the price of greatness. It is for all to know the truth of God.
John 8:32 records, “…And YOU shall know the truth, and the truth shall make YOU free.”
It is the responsibility of all to study, search for His word, and know the truth of God.
Responsibility before God is not making the noise of the name of God without living for God.
Responsibility before God will not tell lies to deceive and manipulate others in the name of God.
Responsibility is for one to become MINDFUL of God, living life by the word of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to become full of Him by His word.
