FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is not for emotional entrainment.

Proverb 4

The word of God is the command of God. Looking into the word of God will cause one to constantly attend to the word of God. Looking into the command of God will keep one from being ashamed. (Psalm 119:6) It is impossible to look into the word of God and not see direction that leads away from the way of shame. The Psalmist states, “with my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:10-11) The word of God needs three crucial parts of the body to work with in order for it to be able to direct every man from the pit of darkness, destruction and the pit of eternal damnation. When the word of direction, healing and victory comes through the ear, it must be well received enough before the eyes can be begin to see what is not there as being there. It is the heart that will transport that word and settle it for mediation or settle it with the purpose of remembering the words received. The book of Proverbs put it better when it says, “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings, do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.” (Proverbs 4:20-22) Are you giving your attention to the word of God? Are you inclining your ears, eyes and heart? God can do all things in the world of today just like He did at the time of creation. All that was created was by the word of God. God, in His doing all things, there is only one thing that He cannot do and that is, “God cannot fail.” God has not and will never fail. Are you allowing the word to enter, rather than for emotional entertainment? The word of God is not for emotional entrainment, it is to gain entrance and give the light required for the termination of darkness. Psalm 119:130, “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” The simple will be simple enough to hear the word of God and do all that the word calls for. However, the ones that are not simple will miss all that the word is communicating. Do you wonder who the simple are? Proverbs 14:15, “The simple believes every word…” When you believe the words of God it will enter and give light and understanding. What are you giving attention to? With light no darkness will fall you. The favor of God is what you gain when understanding is in place. (Proverbs 13:15)

Prayer for today:Ask for the grace of attending to the word of God with intention and with a purposeful heart.
