FAITH CAPSULE: Know to believe in the word of God.

Hebrews 11

For one who believes in the word of God, His secret is to dwell and abide in the word for deliverance. 
Abraham lives the life of a believer.
Romans 4:3 testifies, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
The word of God requires obedience and no compromise. 
To obey, dwell, and wait on the word of God is the testimony of the life of Abraham.
The Bible records Abraham, “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith, he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” (Hebrews 11:8-10)
Obedience: When God called Abraham out from his country, family, and father’s house to an unknown land, he obeyed fully by launching out as commanded by God.
Abraham believed when there was no idea about his journey of obedience.
Abraham had no reasonable excuse to decline the calling upon his life but obeyed God by moving from certainty to uncertainty. 
Are you obeying to obtain good testimonies?
Dwelling: Abraham dwelt on the word of God. 
The character of living by the word God dwells in the secret place of God. Psalm 91:1 buttresses, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Are you a truthful believer who knows to dwell in the word of God? 
Abraham dwelt in the word of God by not looking back to his country but went forward according to the calling of God over his life.
Abraham dwelt under the shadow of the word of God and was able to move forward in the calling of God. 
With faith in the word of God, Abraham moved to a foreign country, and his faith caused him to obtain good testimonies.
Those who engage the word of God as a story are limited in understanding.
Dwelling and abiding in the word is a way for deliverance. 
Waiting: Abraham obeyed God; he dwelt and waited by walking before God.
Those who know to dwell in God know to wait patiently on God. 
Hebrews 11:10 records the waiting of Abraham on God, “For he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” Indeed, Abraham lived by waiting for the future that was not in sight.
Waiting on the promise of God can be painful but is gainful for obedient ones.
In the documentation of Abraham, gain understanding and knowledge to live for the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to learn right from Abraham.
