FAITH CAPSULE: The way of God is His word and His word is His presence.

Exodus 33

Do not allow yourself to be limited by your thoughts but let your thoughts in the word of God reign and rule over your entire situation. Isaiah 55:8-9 documented, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.” Encased in His thoughts are His ways. The way of God is the word of God. The word of God is His presence. Take to the word of God, His word is true to perform and to perfect; His word is mighty.

Are you taking to your thoughts or your ways? Taking to your words or your ways is telling God you are in charge and you know more about yourself. God spoke clearly and directly to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in he womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”(Jeremiah 1:5)   God knows us more than we know ourselves and His always waiting for those who wait on Him to know His ways. Moses, at point in His journey, despite his relationship with God called on God for the way to go. It is written, “Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’  Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”  And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Exodus 33:12-14)  The way of God is His word and His word is His presence.

It is important to study; know and to do what is written in the pages of the bible. Knowing and not doing is hindering one’s glorious destiny. Are you willing to commit all to His hand by exchanging your way for His way? God is faithful to lead and guide us in His way if we seek and ask for His way. Let not your thoughts override you and lead you outside of the way of God. The Bible admonished us, “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)

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to enable you to take to His way in every area of life.
