FAITH CAPSULE: The inability to see God in His word shall not turn to God.
Exodus 3
The word of God is God.
Ability to see God in His word shall observe and do according to His word.
See in the word of God by looking to God.
One who sees God shall be able to turn to God obediently.
To turn to God is to be near to God.
God is not far for anyone who seeks Him.
Looking away from God is not looking for God to find God.
The evidence to KNOW GOD is to TURN ASIDE to God.
It is an error, incomplete to look at God but not turn aside to God.
All must TURN ASIDE to God.
Turning aside to God is essential to engage the calling of God.
For example, Moses could not live life in the calling of God until he TURNED ASIDE to God.
Exodus 3:2-4 records, “Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. and the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So, he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” so when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” and he said, “here I am.” (exodus 3:2-4)
Moses looked without getting the calling of God until he turned aside to see in the word of God.
The key to arriving at the calling of God demands turning aside to see God.
One who sees God will KNOW God to answer the calling of God by turning to God.
The world is a distraction from inside to outside and will deny turning aside to look for God, to find God.
However, with desire and persistence, one will not fail but turn aside to God. The prayer of Jesus positioned Peter in the calling of God without failing before God.
Many are looking outside for God wrongly by running from one church building to another building, giving themselves to empty promises by counting on man but not committed to God.
Knowing about God but not knowing God is prevalent (widespread) among many acclaimed believers.
Are you running after a man posing in the name of a great man of God but not knowing GOD to turn aside to God?
Do you KNOW GOD to turn aside to God?
With a desire, turn aside to God, come out of religion, and get into the reality of Christ.
Prayer for today: Ask God to turn your eyes from looking at worthless things and revive you in His way.
