FAITH CAPSULE: Which way are you moving in the coming month?

Jeremiah 7

With a month running out, let the new month be a time to live for God more.
Answering as one living for God moving forward, to the glory of God, should be of desire in the coming new month.
The way to move forward is in the word of God.
The way backward is in the wicked world.
With you, which way are you moving in the coming month?
Are you going by the dictates of your heart or by the living word of the living God?
Going by the dictates of the heart of man can be of the world.
The way of the world is the way that seems right, not the way of God. Proverbs 14:12 makes us realize that “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” The way that seems right to man comes from the dictates of the evil heart.
The way that seems right is wrong; the way that seems right is always a way of assumption with no certainty to lead right.
As a child of God, have you thought about the reason why you have been going backward instead of forward?
The possibility of your going back is following the dictates of your heart. God was speaking to Jeremiah about the disobedience of the Israelites in Jeremiah 7:21-24, “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat.  For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.  But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’  Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward.”  God called it an evil heart. Evil heart belongs to wicked.
There is a way that is alive when aligned with God.
Take to the word of God, and it will see you through the journey of life.
An evil heart or wicked heart only leads to the wrong way. The word God says the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)
Why should a God-fearing person want to keep going back to the evil heart for counsels and dictates?
Going back and away from God will lead to the wrong way.
From today, begin to take your counsels to the Lord in prayer; He alone is the living God.
Avoid the wrong way of the past and present month by taking the right way.
In the coming month, have the desire to be a living believer of God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be a vessel living for the glory of God.
