FAITH CAPSULE: To live for God is rooted in having a heartfelt desire to know God.

Exodus 20

Engage living in the fear of God and allow His mercy to be yours.
Living life for God is rooted in knowing God.
Desiring to live for God is not a determination, but rather a heartfelt desire to live for God.
Peter had the determination not to deny God, but determination failed him.
The prayer of Jesus was in place for Peter before he denied Jesus.
Jesus prayed for Peter, “But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” (Luke 22:32)
The mercy of God answered for Peter, not to become a victim of failure but to live for God.
The mercy of God is the covenant-keeping God.
Mercy belongs to God, and He renders mercy unto whom He chooses.
It was the mercy of God that led the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. Exodus 15:13 records about God, “You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed…” 
Pray not to be out of the mercy of God.
Joseph feared God.
Joseph gained the position not to miss the mercy.
God was with Joseph through his challenges because he knew God.
The word testified about Joseph, “…the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy…” (Genesis 39:21)   
The mercy of God answers for one who walks in the word of God.
The mercy of God is abundant, and His mercy does not run out.
One who disobeys God shall run out of His mercy.
Truly, the mercy of God endures forever.
Many are under the power and mercy of God. God spoke to Moses, “For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.” (Romans 9:15-16)
It was not of Moses’ will, but the will of God, in His mercy that kept Moses through the calling of God over his life.
Knowing God will grow in the fear of God.
Live in knowing God, grow in Him and the fear of God shall continually order your step.
Knowing is having an understanding of God that the fear of the Lord is His treasure.
One with the fear of God will answer as God’s treasure.
Luke 1:50 testifies, “And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.”
Who are the ones who fear Him?
To fear God is to live by His word.
God planted fear in the heart of man.
Engage living in the fear of God and allow His mercy to be yours.

Prayer for today: Ask God for His hand to come upon you for living life to fear Him.
