FAITH CAPSULE: Listen tohave an edge over destructive challenges.

Genesis 18:16-33
It is written, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2) The word of God is life it is not letter. The word of God is still speaking and it is going to continue to speak forever. Any life style that is short of Romans 12:1-2 will cause distance between God and man. Without doubt, in this world of wickedness, a distance from God is walking closer to sudden and untimely death. Challenging situation where there is lack of knowledge causes both acclaimed believer and unbeliever their life. Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lackofknow…” Knowledge of God’s word is equal to having edge over destructive challenges. God is still speaking to deliver His from destructive challenge.
Are you still waiting for God to speak to your situation? Honestly, it could be that He has spoken and you did not hear. If you believe that He has not spoken, you can keep waiting to hear from Him. He will speak direction if indeed you are serving Him. If you are serving God, it is not possible for Him not to speak. Amos 3:7, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” You probably have heard Him with your ear but missed the message, because you did not listen with your heart. It is not enough to hear with the ear and not listen with the heart. The Word of God is true and there is no lie or failure in His word. Genesis 18:17, “And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?” God is faithful to His servants and He will do what he has promised to do. Are you doing what He expects of you? Are you living the life of a servant of God (a living sacrifice)? If he does not speak to you directly, it could be because of the distance that you are keeping from Him. However, because of His goodness mercy, He will still send one that is closer to Him to speak to you. If you will take a breath concerning your situation, and begin to go into the depth of His word, you will hear clearly and directly from Him. He is still in the business of revealing to those who will wait to hear from Him.
 
Prayer for today: Ask God to open your eyes and ears of understanding His word of deliverance.
