FAITH CAPSULE: Ask that you be able to seek God diligently.
The standard of seeking God is to seek God diligently to please God but not seek God by mouth.
To please God is rooted in faith.
Hebrews 11:6 buttresses, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Seek God diligently, find God, and have a place in Him.
Deuteronomy 4:29 identifies seeking God diligently, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Avoid self-deception, but Know to seek God diligently.
LIVING LIES WILL NOT FIND GOD
Claiming and not living according to the word of God is evidence of ignorance.
Are you living for God?
Truth is bitter.
Many believers claim to be Christian but do not live as Christ-like to flood Church services.
Answering titles and attending or making church a house is not evidence of a Christian.
Are you Christian by the mouth or by your way of life?
Are you conversant in the word of God but walk in the world against the word of God?
Is your life lined up as a disciple of Christ?
Acts 11:26 records, “…the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”
Answering as a Christian and not living as a follower of Christ is easier said than done.
BE A BELIEVING BELIEVER OF THE WORD OF GOD
Are you a believer?
The character of one answering as a believer is living by the word of God, which is living for God.
All owes God to be living for His glory.
Revelation 4:11 records, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”
All are to live for the glory of God as all exist as His creation.
How are you living for God?
God has a calling for His creation.
Assuming the calling of God can lead one to answer to self, man, or take to a title, not engaging in a task that counts before God.
Pray to answer to the calling of God.
FIND GOD BY NOT LIVE A LIFE OF WASTE
A believer wanting to find God should know to seek or serve God to find God.
To seek is to serve God.
No one seeks God in their way to find God.
Know to seek God by His way!
God has a standard to seek or serve to find Him.
There is no excuse not to find God.
God called out the Israelites to come out of the bondage to serve Him. (Exodus 4:23)
What makes you not serve or seek to find God?
Deuteronomy 4:29 records, “…seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Prayer for today: Pray not to live a life of waste but seek and serve to find God.
