FAITH CAPSULE: See in the word of God to receive.

Proverbs 4

What does the word of God say?
Proverbs 4:20-23 records, “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them And health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.”
The word of God says that attention to the word shall not depart from seeing it, to become of such.
Make it a way of life to see in the word of God.
What you see, you receive, and become of yours.
When God promises, see you will take a position to receive the promise.
Have you heard in the word of God and not seen in His word to position yourself to claim the promise?
God promised the Israelites a land that flows with milk and honey (Promised Land). 
At a point in time, during their journey from the bondage of over four hundred years, they chose to dwell too long at Horeb instead of going forward to claim the land that flows with milk and honey.
As a result of the Israelites dwelling too long, God sent Moses to the Israelites, “The Lord our God said to us at Horeb, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev and along the coast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates. See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land…” (Deuteronomy 1:6-8)   
Seeing in the word of God is the key to gaining in the word of God.
There was a need for the Israelites to see in the promise of God that the Promised Land was for them already.
The Israelites could not see as commanded by God. 
Are you acting like the Israelite, not seeing in the word of God that moves you to claim His promise but remain stagnated?
Having faith in God is the ability to see in the word of God.
One who hears the word of God will not be a victim of stagnation but move forward to claim the promise in the word of God.
The ability to see what God says is a direct effect of possessing His promise.
It is interesting how promises of God for His children in the pages of the Bible are well laid while His children languish, not see and possess those promises.
As a believer, consciously see in the promises of God the act of provoking force that will generate a move in the direction of possessing the promise of God.  

Prayer for today: Ask to become enabled to see in the word of God.
