FAITH CAPSULE: Are you turning away to the word of God in your direction for your deliverance?

Numbers 13

A failure to allow the entrance of the word of God shall lead to failure in endeavor.
The Israelites turned away from the word of God to arrive at the promise of the word of God.
Numbers 13:1-3 records, “And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, everyone a leader among them.’” 
Moses played his role in relating the word of God to the Israelites.
The Israelites needed to spy out the land which God was giving them.  
In life, listening to hear consistently will provoke understanding, the key to observing the promise of God.
The promise of God is a done deal!
The promise of God does not void but delivers for one that does not void or not do according to direction in His word.
The spies saw the land and returned with a negative report. 
Sharing any negative report against positive ones is making God a liar, the evidence of a lack of faith by the spy. 
The spy reported a negative confession, “…The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are great men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants), and we are like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we are in their sight.’” (Numbers 13:32-33) 
The negative report delivered by the spy to the Israelites provoked a rebellious response that caused many not to arrive at the promised land.
One who listens is the one who is hearing continually.
Hearing day and night is one meditating on the word of God.
Meditating is not memorizing but meditating the word of God in the heart, not in the mouth.
One who meditates will listen to do according to the word of God.
Listen attentively to no one but to God in His word. 
Will you listen to wait on His word?
For over four hundred years, the Israelites were on a journey of forty years instead of eleven years. 
It was like no way out for the Israelites.
God spoke through Moses, “…I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” (Exodus 3:17) 
God spoke to the Israelites repeatedly, but they turned deaf and corrupted minds to the word of God.
With attention to the word of God, failure is an impossibility.
God has spoken, still speaking, and what He says is a done deal. 
Are you listening to His word? 
The Israelites could not listen attentively and not arrive at the promise of God for their life.

Prayer for today: Ask that you be enabled not to turn away from the word of God.
