FAITH CAPSULE: Meditate to observe, investigate to navigate for your salvation.
Genesis 19:1-13, Joshua 1
The word of God is power to deliver. God sent His word for our healing and deliverance. (Psalm 107:20) Jesus, the living word of God came to give life abundantly. All that it takes to live life are in the word. The word of God demands constant meditation. With meditation man will be able to observe the word. Observing the word is investigating the word. Ones that are able to investigate the word will navigate their world of challenge and not miss salvation. Philippians 4:8 admonished us, “…brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” Ones that know to meditate as stated above shall constantly be at right location to for salvation in the face of evil occurrence.
The people of Sodom and Gomorrah were consumed by sin. They were living a life outside of God’s commandment. When it was time for their destruction, God sent his angels to go and destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham knew that the angels were on mission to destroy the city where Lot, his wife, and children were dwelling. There was no way Abraham could have warned Lot to run out of Sodom by the time that he found out about God’s plan. Lot needed to be at the right location so he could be delivered from the destruction that was intended for the land. As a child of God, are you conscious of your location? Do you pay attention to whom you are and where you should be? In order to avoid untimely and sudden destruction, are you constantly meditating to investigate word to navigate your world? As an acclaimed believer, there are places where a child of God should be found in order to obtain salvation from destruction. Lot was at the right location to receive his deliverance. Genesis 19:1, “Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.” Lot Unknowingly met his agents of deliverance where he was located and he insisted strongly that they come to his house. Lot must have been one that meditates of whatever things are of good report not to miss out at the location of his deliverance. Are you in the right location? Meditate the word to navigate your world to the right location.
