FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is moveable to locate and to give direction.
Jeremiah 1
The word of God is God. (John1:1)
God magnified His word above all His name. (Psalm 138:2)
The word of God is alive and does not stagnate.
The word of God can locate whomever God chooses to give direction.
Have you experienced the visitation of the word of God and not known that the word of God visited you or still visiting you?
The word of God visited Abraham repeatedly.
Through the vision, the word of God came to Abraham with assurance of protection.
Genesis 15:1, “After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
The word of God located Abraham speaking to him with the promise for him to receive where there was a need for Abraham.
Genesis 15:4 records, “And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.”
Are you with expectation for the visitation of the word of God?
When God calls attention to wrongdoing or dissatisfaction, He goes by His word.
The wrongdoing of King Saul calls for the word of God for King Saul through Samuel.
1 Samuel 15:10-11 records, “Now the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, “I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments.” And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to the Lord all night.”
No one can run or hide from God.
Jonah was among many who received the calling of God when the word located him with the direction in Jonah 1:1-2, “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.”
The word of God went to locate Jonah.
Jeremiah was located by the word of God several times for direction to receive attention to see unseeable situations.
Jeremiah testifies, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.” (Jeremiah 1:11-12)
The living word of God does not stagnate, but the word of God moved to call Jonah for direction, to call on Jeremiah to see the unseeable situation, for him to move forward not to be a failure in the assignment of God over life.
Unquestionably, with understanding, the word of God needs no permission to assess anyone as God desires to.
Prayer for today: Ask that the word of God will locate you to build you for His glory.
