FAITH CAPSULE: Paying attention by listening to the word will deposit the word inside of a man for use.

Proverbs 4

It is written,“He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!” (Psalm 107:20-21) God, in His word has made every provision for our deliverance. The same word of God that was in the beginning is the same word that was sent to heal and to deliver us from every form of destructions. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” (John 1:1-4) In the Word of God there is a solution for solving every challenge known to man kind. The word of God is wisdom and it is not forceful; it is always available for anyone that will take time to get deep into it for own use. The word that He sent is already here for anyone that cares to take on the word for their deliverance. Listening to the word will deposit the word inside of a man for use. Without listening and understanding of the word, knowledge will fail. Applying knowledge is crucial in having edge in the world of challenges. The Bible gives insight that “…through knowledge the righteous are delivered.” (Proverb 11:9) Who are the righteous? Our righteousness is when we believe in Jesus as the Lord and savior. “But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe…” (Romans 3:21-22) Believing in Christ Jesus or how righteous we may claim to be is not enough for our deliverance if there is lack of knowledge and this is why the word says, the righteous (that is the believer) through knowledge are delivered. Know it and be clear with it that your deliverance from challenge is in knowing what it takes to face such challenge as it is documented in His word (wisdom) of God. Remember, Knowledge is the application of wisdom. Psalm 34:19, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” It could be true that you are an acclaimed believer of Christ (you are righteous) but also know that your deliverance is inhabited in the application of knowledge not only in knowing and memorizing the word of God.
