FAITH CAPSULE: Failure to recognize is taking God for granted.
Luke 5
Living is a gift of God.
Living life without recognizing God is taking the gift of God for granted.
It is reasonable for all to know, understand, and be mindful of the truth that God alone created all to live life for His glory and honor.
Revelations 4:11 records, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will, they exist and were created.”
There is no reasonable excuse not to live life for the glory of God.
Not to live for God is taking it for granted.
All creation of God exists for His glory.
Be aware of the truth to be living for God.
Existing for God demands serving Him without stopping.
In your service to God, are you pleasing yourself but displeasing God? Knowing God as a long-suffering God without living life for His glory is not a license for any man not to be living life for the glory of God.
Live life for God by lifting your hands in submission, with the expectation to reach God.
Living for God is connected with God continually.
Meditating is a way of connecting to God.
Meditation is Communicating to continuation.
When continuation ceases, continuation stops.
God is a good God.
God is worth for all man to be living life for His glory.
Seeking God diligently with all heart and with all soul is to find Him.
Deuteronomy 4:29 speaks to all, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” What do we do to live life for God when seeking God diligently instead of taking God for granted?
TO SEEK GOD DILIGENTLY is obedience to HIS WORD.
Exodus 19:5 recorded, “Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.”
The word spoke in the Old Testament for the obedience of Israelites before God.
The word of God that speaks to one speaks to all.
Obedience to the word of God will gain and retain the blessing of God.
Once Jesus spoke to Peter, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch. But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless, at Your word, I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.” (Luke 5:4-6)
Obedience is seeking God to live for His glory.
Disciples of Jesus obeyed to be enabled to live life for God as a fisher of man.
Prayer for today: Ask that you be enabled to live life for the glory of God.
