FAITH CAPSULE: Do not doubt the word of God but be a keeper of the word of God.
Proverbs 3
Obviously, engaging the word of God is a source of living life abundantly. Jesus does not lie when He stated, “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”(John 10:10) The word of God which Jesus brought for us is the instruction of God; the word of God is the law of God and it is the command of God. In life, the experiences for man with the choice to truly engage and keep the word of God are reflected through the bible pages.
Proverbs 3 recorded some of what becomes of man that engages the word of God to keep the word:
*Proverbs 3:2 stated, “…let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you.” Length of days, long life and peace belongs to man that keeps the word of God. There should be no man under heaven without desire to inherit the promises in the word of God. Engage and keep the word of God.
*In Proverbs 3:3, it is identified for ones that keep the word of God that mercy and truth should not be forsaken in the life of man that keeps the word of God.
*In this wicked world of darkness, favor and high esteem in the sight of God shall always be the portion of man that keeps the word of God. (Proverbs 3:4)
*Man that truly keep the word of God will know to trust God with all heart and not lean on self understands. (Proverbs 3:5)
*Making the choice of keeping the word of God is acknowledging God for His direction in one’s life. Proverbs 3:6 said it all. “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
*Keeping the word of God is having wisdom; to fear God and know to depart from evil. Proverbs 3:7 confirmed it, “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.”
*Ones that keep the word of God will experience the word of Proverbs 3:8 as it is written, “It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.”
*Keeping the word of God is gaining understanding to be honoring the Lord with possessions and with the first fruits of all increase. Honoring the Lord will surely result to having barns filled with plenty, and vats (containers) will overflow with new wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10) Indeed keep the word of God and His word will not return void to God but shall deliver fully to the glory of God.
