FAITH CAPSULE: Those who walk in His word always arrive at their expected end.
Psalm 143:7-12
It is written, “Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior.” (2Peter 3:1-2) The verse points out that the word of God is the mind stirring agent. A mind that is stirred shall be mindful of steps to be taken in life and shall see clearly in the path of challenging world. To move by the word of God is not to be removed in the path of divined agenda of God for one’s life.
For every believer that chooses to hear the word of God, it is important to know that, just a word of God is enough to terminate all kinds of struggle. What one hears in the word of God is what will carry one through in the face of world challenges. The word of God is direction, deliverance, protection and preservation. When you hear Him right it will be right for you. When you fail to hear, you have also heard Him wrongly. You have a need to hear Him on a daily and regular basis. Psalm 143:8 “Cause me to hear your lovingkindnesss in the morning. For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to you.” The Psalmist demonstrates here that hearing Him in the morning is what makes the difference for the day. When you begin to make time to hear from the Lord first in the morning, trusting Him will be activated in your daily endeavors and what you heard in the morning will be your compass for the day. There are none that have walked in the way of God that end up in failure.
It is wisdom to walk in the way of God. Evidently, it is also a demonstration of trust in Him not to walk in your own way. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding: In all your ways acknowledge Him. And He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) To many believers, these are well memorized and often quoted scriptural verses. However, memorization without meditation will bring forth no manifestation. Meditation is what will cause man to observe and to take right step as directed in the word of God. Those who walk in His way always arrive at their expected end and are set to end up in His divine schedule and rest. In all that you hear, hear Him right and that will have a direct impact on how you move.
