FAITH CAPSULE: Sincerely, knowingly wait on God in all your ways of living life.
James 3
One who knows God will live life by the word of God.
To know God is waiting and not to tolerate negative communication.
God acts with answers.
Know that waiting on God is worshiping God; worshiping God is seeking a jealous God. Exodus 34:14 states, “For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.”
All are to seek God in His way, the character of one who knows God.
God alone sees all ways the Bible states, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to showHimself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…” (2 Chronicles 16:9)
Conscious or unconscious ways of man in life are to wait on God.
Consciously or unconsciously, communicating or confessing positive or negative does not escape the attention of God.
Word of God warns, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21)
The Word of God is not a waste; it demands that the tongue be in control.
Are you taking control of your mouth to avoid confessing negative thoughts that can destroy?
Claiming to be religious but not controlling the tongue from negative confession is a reckless way of life.
Word of God warned in James 1:26, “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.” James 3:8 also warned, “But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.”
Know God not to be a victim to perish.
Know God to adopt waiting on God.
God is a merciful God who waits to act for those who wait on Him.
Isaiah 30:18 testifies about God that is waiting, “Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; and therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him.”
Isaiah 64:4 also buttresses, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.” Without doubt, God truly waits to act for His children that wait on Him.
Do you know God, to know Him in waiting on Him?
Do you sincerely, knowingly wait on God in all your ways of living life?
God does not sleep nor slumber; He is always waiting faithfully to act for His children who will sincerely wait for His action.
Every way of living life is waiting on God. In the ways of life, regardless of situation, it is worth being aware of positive confession instead of negative confession before God.
Payer for today: Pray not to live life outside of the knowledge of God.
