FAITH CAPSULE: Those who fear God will seek Him without doubt but with the whole heart.
Psalm 37
Psalm 119:2 states, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart.” For a believer that wants to make a head way in the journey of life, keeping the testimonies of God is exceedingly important. What God has done in the life of His servant or what He has done that are visible in our surrounding are the kinds of testimonies that is worthy of keeping. It is written, “…we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.” (Psalm 75:1) Keeping the testimony that the wondrous works of God is the evidence of His presence is enough for a true believer to constantly walk in the fear of God. Ones that fear God will seek Him without doubt but with the whole heart.
In David, one can learn that clinging to testimonies of God will not put a believer to shame. David testifies, “I have been young, and now I am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lends; and his descendants are blessed.”(Psalm 37:25-26) King David, a man referred to as “one that is after God’s own heart” (Acts 13:22)knew exactly what he was talking about. King David was not arousing any man’s emotion neither was he attempting to please man, but rather lived to lift the name of God. The truth behind King David’s statement is that indeed it was pleasing to God because it was a statement that demonstrates faith in the highest order. Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him…” King David was so sure of his God and he testified about his lifetime experience of not having seen a righteous one ever forsaken. Who is it or who are those that David referred to as never been forsaken? King David was referring to the righteous one. Who is righteous? 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Have you accepted Christ indeed and in truth? It is one thing to claim to have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior and not be living the Word of God. When a believer begins to live indeed and in truth, he becomes righteous in Christ Jesus. Are you true to the Word of God? His word is His is testimony, keep to the word of His testimony, “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)David experienced it and confessed it. Pay attention to testimonies of God and live according to the Word of God, your testimony will be like that of David. God is faithful!
