FAITH CAPSULE: What God cannot do is: “God cannot fail.”
1 Samuel 13
God alone is available for all to live a life of commitment to Him.
Who do you commit to besides to God?
Know to commit to no one but God.
Jesus selected few to walk with Him day and night.
The few elected to walk with Him is not evidence for Him to commit to anyone.
Jesus could not commit Himself to any man.
The Bible records, “But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men.” (John 2:24)
The documentation of the experience of Jesus is for all to learn.
It is possible to walk along with man but not commit is wise of God.
Are you studying instead of reading the word of God to learn?
Study the word of God.
Know Jesus. Do not commit to anyone but to Jesus alone.
God does not fail.
Be committed to God.
He does not fail, but man will fail.
God waits to act when we wait on His committed love and caring.
Isaiah 64:4 testifies to God, “For since the beginning of the world, men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
God is enough to be committed.
God alone is the Helping helper of man that has never failed.
Looking for help from the wrong sources is evidence of limiting God for His loving care.
Your help will not come from where you are looking, nor will it come from your thinking.
King Saul became the King over the children of Israel.
Saul was to fight the Philistines but could not wait for the Prophet of God to carry out the burnt offering.
Samuel confronted Saul about the presentation of the burnt offering, “…What have you done?” Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, then I said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD.’ Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.” (1 Samuel 13:11-12)
Committing to man instead of meditating on the testimonies of the care of God will compel one to become a failure like King Saul.
Meditate on what God can do, what He has done, and what He is doing. God is enough to look up to in all areas of life.
God alone has brought you this far, and He will not leave you, and He shall not forsake you.
Are you wondering where your help will come from?
Help from God is sure and unfailing for one who will be committed to God alone.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you not to commit to anyone but only to Him.
