FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God calls for trusting Him with all heart-not with all mouth.
Psalm 62
Trusting God provokes waiting on God. It is written, “…Who acts for the one that waits for Him.” (Isaiah 64:4) “…But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31) There is so much to gain in waiting on God.
How can you trust Him who you do not fear or how can you wait on Him who you do not trust? Truly, it is wisdom to know to fear God. The word of God could not have said it better when it says, “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom…” (Psalm 11:10) It is wisdom to know that the one that created heaven and earth is real and true. It is wisdom to know that there is nothing God cannot do. It is wisdom to know He cannot fail and all His word will come to pass. Proverbs 3:5-6 pointed out how we Him stating, “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.”
The word of God calls for trusting Him with all heart-not with all mouth. God goes by what transpires in the heart. Trusting the Lord with all your heart should not be testing God with all your heart. To be testing God in the heart is to be testing Him by act of disobedience. Testing Him in the heart is rooted in doubting what He can do or undo. Among the promises of trusting God is stated in Isaiah 57:13, “…He who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land and shall inherit My holy mountain.” Absolutely there is nothing worth more than trusting God and finding out His truthfulness. A heart that knows to trust God will know to wait on Him at all times in all situations.
God expects us to wait on Him because it is a demonstration of faith. All that the word is asking for is to seek Him. Seeking God is rooted in the fear of the Lord. So many testimonies through the pages of the bible demonstrated the need for outright trust and waiting on God as the only way out to receive from God. King David testified in Psalm 62:1-2, “Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.” It is worth to know the word of God and to be known in the word of God which makes the difference in the journey of life.
Prayer for today: Ask God to put His fear in your heart so that you will not depart from His presence.
