FAITH CAPSULE: It is all about the word of God.
Psalm 18
HEAR AND SEE IN THE WORD TO CLAIM IN HIS WORD
Are you hearing and not seeing what God is saying?
The word of God is God for all to see in Him what He has done, what he is doing, and what He will do.
Job testifies to hear and see to gain success in God. Job 42:5 records, “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You.”
A believing believer will see in the character of God, in His word, to claim with the unfailing expectation that is yet to be in place.
Pray that God enables you to live life obediently to His word.
The word of God is a warning for all to respond and react to be right before God. Colossians 1:28 records warning, “Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.”
Be right before God!
WORD FOR YOURSELF IS YOUR DELIVERANCE
Psalm 143:8 testifies, “Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning. For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk for I lift up my soul to You.” Hearing, observing, and obeying God in the morning will make the difference for the day.
Ask that you be enabled to hear the word of God first every morning as God gives you a new day.
Also, what man hears will be like a compass for navigation through the challenges of life.
Give yourself to the word of God to lead you with deliverance.
DO NOT DESPISE THE WORD OF GOD
Proverbs 13:13 warns, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”
Strive in the word of God to deny doubt in your thoughts or actions.
Doubting is the avenue to self-destruction. Do not doubt, do not limit, or despise the power of the word of God.
Affliction is challenging.
The word of God is a live-wire for one who knows and understands the word of God that can terminate struggle or challenge in any area of life. Psalm 34:19 buttresses, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
Do not doubt the word of God!
GIVE YOURSELF TO THE WORD OF GOD
Think, the word of God is God. (John 1:1)
The presence of God is the word of God that led the Israelites in the wilderness journey to the Promised Land. The presence of God answered as direction and leadership for Moses. Give yourself to the word of God to gain His rest that leads without fail.
All God did to lead was send His word through Moses. Psalm 103:7 records, “He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.”
Without a doubt, the presence of God is the word of God. Give yourself to the word of God.
Prayer for today: Ask that you live by the word of God.
