FAITH CAPSULE: Man’s positive or negative confession is not hidden from God’s attention.

James 3

God is a merciful God that will wait to act for ones that adopt waiting on God as a pattern of living life. Isaiah 30:18 testified about God that is waiting, “Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; and therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him.” Isaiah 64:4 also buttressed, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.” Without doubt, God truly wait to act for His children that wait on Him.  Are you waiting on God that is always waiting for His children so as to act on behalf of His children?
Do you sincerely, willfully wait on God in all your ways of living life?
God does not sleep nor slumber; He is always waiting faithfully to act for His children who will sincerely wait for His action. God acts with answers. It is important to know that waiting on God is worshiping God; worshiping God is seeking a jealous God. Exodus 34:14 recorded; “for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God” We are to seek God in all our ways because God alone sees all our ways just as the bible stated, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…” (2 Chronicles 16:9)
Conscious or unconscious ways of man in life is waiting on God and nothing is hidden from God. Consciously or unconsciously, communicating or confessing positive or negative does not escape from God’s attention. Bible warned, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21) Word of God is not a waste but demands for our tongue to be in control. We are to be confessing positive in the place of negative especially as we wait on God. Are you claiming to be a religious but not controlling tongue from negative confession? Word of God warned in James 1:26, “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.” James 3:8 also warned, “But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.”
Every way of living life is waiting on God. In the ways of life, regardless of situation, it is worthy to be aware of positive confession instead of negative confession before God. Living life demands watching mouth and putting tongue in control so as to be confessing positive in the place of negative knowing that God hears and acts with response.
