FAITH CAPSULE: Whenever one’s hearing becomes seeing, the awareness of being led by God will begin to reign and rule in one’s life.

Psalm 119:1-16
 
Proverbs 4: 20-22 declares, “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.” In this verse, it is clear that just as the word demands our ear’s attention it also demands our eye’s attention. We give ear’s attention to the word so that we may hear His sayings and we give eye’s attention to see in the word and have word to stay in our heart. To hear and see in the word will enable us to keep and seek God with the whole heart. It is written, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!” (Psalm 119:1-2) When you begin to see that God is near, that He is a living God, the manner in which you believe in Him will take you beyond human understanding.
It is the will of God for His children to grow and growing is in how we see, seek and keep His word. John 6:40, “And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” Can you envision Him being there for you and alive? What you see you will seek, what you seek you will keep and what you keep you will heed. When you heed what you have seen in His Word, you will be deep in Him. A failure not to see in His word will definitely deny one from seeking Him. With no seeking their will be nothing to keep. One that does not keep the word will have no word to keep him/her. Faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17) Also, faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Whenever one’s hearing becomes seeing, the awareness of being led by God will begin to reign and rule in one’s life. The level of our walk with God is not limited. It is also not achieved by determination; it is by the grace of God. When we personalize God as ours (just like David did) then, we begin to see Him as being there for us always. God will always instruct and teach us in the way we should go; He will guide us with His eye (Psalm 32:8). It is all about God directingus.

Prayer for today:Ask God to open your ears and eyes to begin to hear and see in the word of direction.
