FAITH CAPSULE: Make the difference in the journey of life; allow the word to reign and rule your life.
Deuteronomy 30
The living word of God is life and it will cause those who engage it faithfully to live life abundantly. Jesus stated, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63) What will make us or unmake us as we journey through life is the word of God. The word of God will make all the difference in man’s life. Anyone that hears the word and able to do what the word says will live life abundantly. Also, anyone that hears the word and not able to do what the word says will be short in the life that Jesus brought. Jesus did not say “I am coming to give life.” What Jesus said was, “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) Jesus the living word of God came already and it is left for us to abide and dwell in the living word of God.
To every man, the word is not far but it is within reach and in place for it to be engaged. Deuteronomy 30:14 buttresses the truth that the word is near by stating, “But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.” There is neither any way nor any excuse that will stand for us not do what God requires of us in His word. Are you a believer that is living by the word of God or outside of the word of God? Man can be deceived but God cannot be deceived. God does have a set standard for those that are living the word and those that are not living the word. It is written, “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.”(Deuteronomy 30:15-16) Put into practice the word of God; have life and not death. The Word that He gave to them, He gave to us. The word of God is His commandment. All that it takes to make a difference is to live by His word and if it were not doable, He would not have asked us to live by His word. Make the difference in your journey by allowing the word to rule in your heart, and His promises will reign in your life.
Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to have its place in your life. Pray against whatever it is that is denying hearing and doing the word of God in the life of man.
