FAITH CAPSULE: Are you allowing the word of God to enter?
Isaiah 54
The purpose of God’s word is to gain entrance into man’s heart because of the effectiveness of the word of God. Psalm 119:130 declared, “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” Are you an acclaimed simple one but yet the mark of simple is not evidence in your life? The simple ones will be simple enough to hear the word of God and do all that the word calls for. Bible identified simple in Proverbs 14:15, “The simple believes every word…” The word of God which enters will give light and understanding that is needed to navigate through the wicked world with no failure. Are you allowing the word of God to enter? With studying, with meditating on the light that enters, a challenge of navigating in the wicked world will exists but shall not keep you down. Word of light encourages, “In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.” (Isaiah 54:14-15) Are you experiencing assembles against your life? Allowed the entranced word to lift you up knowing that whoever assembles against you shall fall for you.
The book of Proverbs identified the important of giving attention to word stating, “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings, do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.” (Proverbs 4:20-22) Are you giving your attention to the word of God? Are you inclining your ears, eyes and heart? God can do all things in the world today just like He did all at the time of creation. All that was created was by the word of God. God, in His doing all things, there is only one thing that He cannot do and that is, “God cannot fail.” God has not and will never fail. Are you allowing the word to enter? The word of God is not for mouth decoration, it is to gain entrance and give the light required for the termination of darkness.
The word of God is the command of God. Word will give light. Looking into the word of God will lead one with direction without failing; without being lead into shame. Looking into the word of God, the command of God will keep one from becoming a victim of the wicked world.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable the entrance of His word to enter you and give you light in this wicked world.
