FAITH CAPSULE: Give self to the word of God which is the light to navigate this world of darkness.

Genesis 6

Wickedness of man is turning the earth darker. The wickedness of earth did not just start; the wickedness of earth has been in place since the bible days. God identified the wickedness of earth as stated in Genesis 6:5-6, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” Wickedness on earth is not reducing but it is increasing. By virtue of wickedness, the earth continues to get darker.
How are you engaging the earth where wickedness reigns while darkness did not reduce?
Are you experiencing challenges of darkness as you navigate your calling in this wicked world?
Why not wait on God rather than waste away? The world is getting darker and it only takes light to navigate darkness. The word of God reveals to us in John 1:1 “…light shines in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” In these days that the world is getting darker, why not engage light that shines in darkness and worry? Worrying is a possible avenue to sickness as a result, give light a chance in your life. The light that is needed is the word of God. Psalm 119:130 confirmed word as the light, “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”
Are you sick and tired of all that is going on around this wicked world?
If you are sick of this wicked world, it is worth to begin to seek Him who has the power to take away and add all that will make the difference in your world. The word of God encouraged in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Seeking God is more than mouth claiming to be a believer or church goer. What makes the difference in this wicked world is seeking Him indeed and in truth. To be able to seek, there has to be a desire to seek God. Desire and seeking God can be compared to engine and motor. Desire is the engine while seeking is the motor. The Psalmist buttressed, “One thing I have desired of the LORD that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple.” (Psalm 27:4) In this wicked world, desire and seek God so as to resume motion for transformation in this wicked world.

Prayer for today: Ask for His grace to give self to the word of God which is the light to navigate this world of darkness.
