FAITH CAPSULE: God sees all your good.
Esther 8
Doing the word of God is doing good.
Under heaven, doing good is not beyond God.
God sees all, and doing good will provoke the mercy of God.
The Bible records that the word of God is God as John 1:1 testifies, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
The Bible also records that the word is the Spirit of God.
John 6:63 records, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life.”
The Bible also confirms, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:24)
The Word of God is God, and His word is His Spirit.
Doing the word of God is doing good.
It is wise and should be a desire with one who wants to live life for God, to pray the word of Psalm 143:10, “Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.”
When God, His Spirit that is good, becomes established in the life of one, the testimony of God that is mercy and truth shall belong to such.
The mercy of God is attainable for one who is doing good before God.
Knowing to do good under heaven is not beyond the response of the mercy of God.
One, Haman devised evil against the Jews to provoke the guidance of Mordecai, which led Esther to receive privilege before the King to deny Haman with an evil device. Bible records, “Now Esther spoke again to the king, fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to counteract the evil of Haman the Agagite, and the scheme which he had devised against the Jews.” (Esther 8:3)
Esther devised good, and the mercy of God answered on behalf of all her people (Jews).
The Word of God in Proverbs 14:22 confirms, “…but mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.
One devising good will attain the mercy of God.
In life, one who sows good will reap good.
It is a wise saying that whatever a man sows is what a man will reap.
For example, as close as bananas and plantains look alike, it is impossible to sow bananas and reap plantains regardless of how look-alike they appear.
What are you sowing to reap?
Hosea 10:12 buttressed the word of God, “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy.”
Become one merciful to experience the mercy of God just as Matthew 5:7 speaks to all, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.”
Be merciful to attain the mercy of God over your life.
With understanding, know God to be doing good, not just know about God.
Seek the mercy of God so that His mercy will reign and rule in your life.
Prayer for today: Ask to be a vessel of doing good to the glory of God.
