Faith Capsule: Take to the way of God and God will take you beyond your expectation.
Exodus 33
Jesus is the Living Word of God that was with God in the beginning. It is written, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-3) The Word of God is God. The word of God is also the Way of God. Jesus testified in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Clearly, the Way of God is the Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God for every believer. Walking the Way of God is allowing the Word of God to take the leadership in one’s journey of life. God cannot be deceived, God cannot be mocked and He sees the ways of every man. Which way are you going? God has His way and His ways are in His word. Any way outside the way of God is a way into self-destruction.
At a point when Moses was leading the children of Israel to the Promised Land, there was a need for him to know the way to go and avoid leading the people in his own way. Moses called on God. “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.” (Exodus 33:13) The way of God is deliverance and it is preservation. Through the pages of the bible, there is none that engaged the Way of God and ended up in destruction. The way of God is the presence of God. When there is a will or desire to walk in His way, He will guide your feet to walk in His way. I Samuel 2:9 buttressed, “He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness. For by strength no man shall prevail.” Walking in His way is not by determination; it is only by His grace. Have you considered which way you have been walking recently? Take to the way of God and God will take you beyond your expectation. Let God be pleased by walking in His way because, “When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” (Proverbs 16:7) The Lord God has given us His word, be encouraged to go in the Way of God.
Prayer for the today: Ask for the grace to always know to walk in His way.
