FAITH CAPSULE: Meditating on the word of God will enable knowing God more.
Joshua 1
Gaining to retain the presence of God is possible when meditating on the word of God.
Meditating on the word of God is continual communication with God.
Be able to know and do the following:
KNOW NOT TO LIVE A LIFE OF A LIAR
To adopt twisting the truth of God will become convinced that lying can make a way where there is no way.
Do you know that twisting the truth of God is evidence of taking distance from God?
Twisting the truth of God will keep one far from God, to become set for evil. Psalm 56:5 testifies, “All day they twist my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.” Are you one with no means of controlling yourself from unwarranted talking, taking you to a route of twisting the word of God? Pray not to live the life of a liar.
KNOW TO PRAY FOR THE HAND OF GOD OVER YOU
The book of Ezra repeatedly testifies to the hand of God over the Israelites through the journey of life. Ezra 8:31 states, “…And the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambush along the road.” In your life journey today and in days to come, desire for the hand of God to come upon you.
In the hand of God, there is an answer for deliverance and preservation. Prayerfully, continually, know to ask for the hand of God. The Lord God is not partial. Ask, and His hand shall answer for you.
KNOW TO CALL ON GOD TO REVIVE YOU
To become revived is to experience renewal with strength, to become energized, to be active, and not be denied to live life to the glory of God.
In life, to become revived by God will enhance one physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
The Psalmist asks God: “Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, so that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.” (Psalm 119:88)
The key to it all is to become REVIVED by GOD.
Is it your desire to be revived by God?
With the desire, ask God to revive you just as the psalmist did.
KNOW TO BE RESPONSIBLE BY ASKING DIRECTIONS FROM GOD
Be responsible, and seek the perfect way of God.
Responsibly, the venture of David to save Keilah from the Philistines is the reason why David inquired direction from God in 1 Samuel 23:2, “Therefore David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?”. The Lord said to David, “…Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.” The warrior Men with David were not encouraged to go with him against the Philistines, but his responsibility to inquire from God assured victory against the Philistines. It is a responsibility to ask for directions to arrive at the expected end of the journey.
Prayer for today: Ask that the word of God to meditate will gain entrance into your heart.
