FAITH CAPSULE: Why not engage the word of God, the light to navigate the wicked world?
Genesis 6
The wickedness of man is turning the earth darker.
The wickedness of the earth did not just start; it has been in place since biblical days.
God identified the wickedness of earth as stated in Genesis 6:5-6, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.”
The creator was disappointed in His creation for their wickedness,
Wickedness on earth is not reducing, but it is increasing.
Are you a part of wickedness or part to correct the wickedness?
The wickedness of the earth continues to get darker.
How are you engaging the earth where wickedness reigns while darkness does not reduce?
Are you experiencing challenges of darkness as you navigate the calling of God in this wicked world?
In your calling, grow to know God more, wait on God rather than waste away.
The wickedness of the world is getting darker, and it only takes light to navigate through darkness.
John 1:1 speaks to all, “…light shines in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
One full of the light of God is bound not to be a victim of the darkness of the world.
Make yourself available, engaging the word of God as a way of life.
Worrying will derail its victim, who is open to its entrance.
Do not worry in any area of life.
Matthew 6:25 encourages all, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life.”
Are you worrying by any standard?
Matthew 6:27 states, “Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?”
The word of God is what all will need to gain the light that terminates darkness.
The light that is needed is the word of God. Psalm 119:130 confirmed word as the light, “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”
The wicked world demands understanding.
The understanding gained from the word of God is rooted in the wisdom and knowledge of God.
The knowledge gained from understanding will give a knowledge edge over the activities of wickedness.
The wickedness of the world is sickness and tiring.
If God, the perfect creator of the world, identifies the wickedness of the world, all should know to engage the word of God.
God is good and did not create the world to be wicked. The wicked mind is a choice to turn away from the world, turning from the ways of God.
Live for God and do not be counted as wicked.
Wicked knows the word of God in the mouth but not in the heart.
Prayer for today: Ask that the strength engaging the word of God be activated, and not live a life of waste.
