FAITH CAPSULE: God sees how man is comfortable in complete liars.
Psalm 4
When Hager the Sarai’s maid was fleeing from Sarai, she had an encounter Angel of the Lord that asked her to return back to Sarai. Angel of the Lord also mentioned to Hager that she was going to bear a child. In response to the Angel of the Lord’s word, Hager stated, “Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, “Have I also here seen Him who sees me?” (Genesis 16:13) Truly, God sees; He is a God that sees. With the testimonies of man that knows God actually knows God and knows that God sees. Once, God proved seeing all when He sent Isaiah to Hezekiah saying, “…Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years.” (Isaiah 38:5) God sees. Psalm 94:9 spoke about God as God that sees, “He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?”
God sees how man is comfortable in complete liars; God sees that man prefers lies to truth; God sees how man makes the choice of committing to man in the place of God. By seeing, God reacted to man’s wrong doing as stated in Psalm 4:2, “How long, O you sons of men, will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood?” Man turning the glory of God to shame is loving worthless and seeks falsehood (untruth). So many falsehood is reigning among acclaimed believers that only knows about God but not actually know God. Giving self to falsehood is committing self to Prophet-liars, Apo-stealers, the self-ordained or man ordained of today.
Today, know God and be rest assured that God is seeing enough to know who is who under heaven. He is in position to take care of ones that does not love worthless and seek falsehood turning the glory of God to shame. Psalm 4:3 recorded God’s response to God that does not turn the glory of God to shame, “But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; the Lord will hear when I call to Him.”
The written word of God above points it out that God will not fail those who call on Him; God will hear those who are set apart to him. The identities of ones that are set apart to God, ones that do not seek falsehood and does not turn the glory of God to shame are stated in Psalm 4:4-5, “Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Offer the sacrifices of righteous, and put your trust in the Lord.”
Know God, live for the glory of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God to set you apart to Him and for the glory of His name.
