FAITH CAPSULE: The truth is man is made to be in honor.
Psalm 8
The word states, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:20) The healing word is the delivering word. God sent it and it is already here for those who make the choice to embrace It. Jesus came and declared, “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, does not say He is coming because He is here to give life to whomever desires to have life in Him and have it abundantly. What is stopping you from embracing the word that gives life and delivers from every evil agenda?
God made every possible need to live life abundantly available in His word. God owes no man anything. God can do without man to attain His plans. He needs no man for His attainment; it is man who rather needs God for attainment. What else does man want God to do for man that is yet undone? The truth is man is made to be in honor and the sad truth is man does not know about God’s honor upon man. The psalmist identified man as one in honor but yet does not understand is like the beasts that perish. (Psalm 49:20)
Evidently, it is the lack of knowledge for man not to know who man is in the hand of God. Knowing God is the source of having knowledge. To love God is to fear God; to fear God is to gain wisdom. It is not possible to love God when the fear of God is not in one’s life. To love God is to seek God. Those who love God will give themselves to serving God. Claiming love for God is not a mouth talk but it is for action to talk.
The word of the God is proven and it is perfect. None of God’s word ever returns back to Him void without performing perfectly. He made man to be in dominion at the time of creation. He spoke in Genesis 1:28, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” David, a man after God’s own heart, could not comprehend enough about how much God had invested in man when he requested from God, “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels,And You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet. (Psalm 8: 4-6) David could see it all in man but man cannot see through God’s investment in man.
