FAITH CAPSULE: Encounter His presence and experience His wonder.
Psalm 91
The word of God is God.
Seek God ardently to encounter His presence and experience His wonder.
Encountering the presence of God to experience His wonder is in the word of God.
However, the word of God is secret but not hidden to those who seek God for encounter to experience God. Isaiah 45:19 testifies, “I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in vain’; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.”
Seeking to encounter His presence for His wonders demands ardent diligence in His word.
Undoubtedly, seeking God in His word shall not be in vain.
Are you seeking God casually seeking God your way or diligently?
Seek God diligently in His word as a dwelling, as stated in Psalm 91:1, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
The word of God is the place to encounter and experience the presence of God if man will seek the word of God diligently.
Bible records wonder of God in His word: Psalmist testifies wonder of God in the word of God, “You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.” (Psalm 119:114)Seeking for a hiding place in God as the shield is wonderful. God as the shield is the promise to be gained by dwelling and abiding in the word of God with earnest hope, not by mouth.
All should take the word of God that has never failed, as spoken in Isaiah 55:11, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
Psalm 119:116 reveals a secret to be encountered by one who seeks God, “Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope.”
One seeking the secret of God will have testimony as Psalm 119:133 records, “Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.”
To give attention to knowing and understanding the word of God is seeking God for wonders in the word of God.
In this wicked world, the peace of God is secret and is obtainable for one through Jesus (the word of God).
Philippians 4:7 states, “… and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Peace of God does not happen by accident but by engaging in the secret of God.
Engaging the secret (word) of God is engaging His presence to experience the wonders of God, which do not fail.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to seek God diligently to have the encounter of His wonders.
