FAITH CAPSULE: Giving heart and soul to God will find God.
Genesis 22
The truth of God is: He alone is the Lord God.
He alone is the perfect God.
He creates all without a contract for a co-creator.
The majority know only about Him.
It is a few who know Him.
Few who know Him understand Him.
It is what one possesses about His understanding that will determine how far one with understanding goes with Him.
It is reasonable for all to know, understand, and be mindful of the truth that God alone created all to live life for His glory and honor.
Revelations 4:11 records, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, and by Your will, they exist and were created.”
There is no reasonable excuse for anyone not to live life for the glory and honor of God, giving regard to Him, not taking him for granted.
Psalm 28:5 records, “Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.”
With the breath of life, please God in all the ways of life.
Knowing God as a long-suffering God without living life for His glory is not a license for anyone not to be living life for the glory of God.
Live life for God by lifting hands in submission before God.
God is a good God who is worthy of all, to live for His glory.
Seeking God diligently with all heart and with all soul is to find Him.
Deuteronomy 4:29 speaks to all, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” What to do is to live life for God when seeking God diligently instead of taking God for granted.
Know to seek God diligently and be obedient.
Exodus 19:5 records “Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.”
Seek God diligently and obey Him as a way of life.
The fear of God drives one to seek Him and obey Him with no reservation.
The character of Abraham is of living for God, of one who knows God.
Abraham lived life for the glory of God.
Abraham could not withhold from the command of God as commanded by God.
God recognized the obedience of Abraham to His word and said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” (Genesis 22:12)
Abraham could not take God for granted; he lived life for God by seeking God with all his heart and soul.
Prayer for today: Ask that God enable you to live life for His glory.
