FAITH CAPSULE: Keeping the word of God will provoke heaven’s attention.
Proverbs 6
Knowing about God is not same as knowing God.
Knowing about God is engaging the word of God and not keeping the word of God.
Knowing God is engaging the word of God to be keeping. The word of God is like story to those who know about God while the word of God is secret to those who know God. The secret of God is not hidden from those who know Him. Knowing about God is not enough but knowing God counts.
Do you know about God or do you know God?
Many that dwell in the secret place of God and not abide in the secret (word) place of God are the same as those who know about God. However, those who dwell and abide in the secret place of God are those who know God.
To be dwelling and not abiding in the secret place of God does not keep Man. Also, engaging the word of God and not be keeping the word of God will fail man in the journey of this wicked world.
Among the marked identities in the life of ones that keeps the word of God are rooted in, “Do not do against what God does not want from man.” Proverbs 3:29-31 stated, “Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he dwells by you for safety’s sake. Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm. Do not envy the oppressor, and choose none of his ways” Keep the word of God by answering God to gain His attention.
Keeping the word of God will provoke heaven to be keeping one.
Keeping the word of God keeps man as upright that possesses secret counsel of God. Keeping the word of God keeps man from not experiencing the curse of God which is on the house of the wicked. The just and humble ones keep the word of God.
Word pointed out that God blesses the home of the just and God gives grace to the humble. Evidently, to be keeping the word of God is to be kept from experiencing shame. (Proverbs 3:32-35)
God is truthful to honor His word beyond the imagination of man while man takes far from receiving the word of God by not keeping to the word of God. Do not deceive yourself; do not be deceived by any force that is against the word of God. Truly engage the word of God that is live to keep because, “When you roam, they will lead you; when you sleep, they will keep you; and when you awake, they will speak with you.” (Proverbs 6:22) Knowing God is to be keeping the word of God by binding the word of God continually upon heart to have life more abundantly in this wicked world of darkness.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to know God not just to know about God.
