Faith Capsule: Be conscious that God cares for you as a child.

Psalm 8

Have an understanding that God cares.
God is mindful of all more than His creations know.
God cares with His deliverance and preservation for all.
Do you understand how much He cares for you as His child?
Curiously, David questioned in Psalm 8:4-6, “What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet…”
The curiosity of David revealed the truthfulness of His care for all His creation.
The mind of God is for all the evidence that God is near to all.
God is near to all, but many are far from God in the way of life.
Testimony of Deuteronomy 4:7 is the evidence that God is near, “For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?” Jeremiah 23:23 confirms that God is near, “Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord, “And not a God afar off?”
When God is near, the presence of God is evident.
However, sin will always keep a man from God who is near.
Sin keeps man from God.
Zephaniah 3:2 buttressed that sin will keep man with sin from His presence. It states, “She has not obeyed His voice, she has not received correction; She has not trusted in the Lord, she has not drawn near to her God.”
Disobedience to the word of God, a failure to receive correction, and a lack of trust set one far from God.
God is mindful of all.
God is near to us and cares for all who care to live life by His word.
God does have a position of deliverance for all who acknowledge His care, to live in His presence.
God was near to Elisha, which was evidence of His care for his deliverance.
When the servant of Elisha was not aware of the deliverance of God for their deliverance, because he was not near to God with understanding to know God as Elisha did.
Elisha was aware of God.
The servant needed to understand that God is near.
Elisha prayed, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.” (2 Kings 6:18) Living in the consciousness of the care of God is the evidence of faith; the expression of expectation for the divine protection of God at all times.
Having understanding is the key that will deliver one from the ignorance of the wicked world.

Prayer for today: Ask God with desire to live life in the consciousness of His care for your life.
