FAITH CAPSULE: Allow God to take you through just as He promised.

Deuteronomy 1:1-22

God is able to see you through. He is a faithful God; lying is not in His character; deception does not have a place in Him or before him. God is true and whatever He says He will do is a done deal. God is absolutely faithful to His Word. It is written in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope.” God that made this statement will not purposely build you up and turn around to pull you down. The children of Israel were delivered from the bondage of over four hundred years, God is a mighty Deliverer. The hand of God was carrying the Israelites to fulfill the possibility of His plan (Promised Land) but the Israelites constantly fold-up their hands to receive and embrace the hands of God.
At a certain stage of their journey, Moses said to them “Look, the LORD your God has set the land before you: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of your father has spoken to you; do not fear or be discouraged” (Deuteronomy 1:21) Sadly, the children of Israel had a different mindset of getting to their Promise Land. They did not take to heart the word of Moses, the mouthpiece of God. The children of Israel were in the nearer to the Promised Land but they were too far in their heart to the promise of God. When it was more important for the Israelites to be looking up to God they turned to looking at their challenges. Your challenge to be claiming the promise of God for you is your distraction. Without doubt, distraction will always deny or destroy the promise of God for man. Why not unfold your hand for the hand of God to carry you through? Package your word with positive to ask for His intervention when negative comes like storm for you to become stagnated. God will perform is promise with perfection. When God makes a promise and you are not looking up to that promise, you will miss out of His promise. Are you looking away from God or you are looking down outside of God?
The Israelites made the choice not to respond by Moses’ direction as stated, “Let us send men before us, and let them search out the land for us, and bring back word to us of the way by which we should go up, and of the cities into which we shall come (Deuteronomy1:22).”
God’s plan and direction was to take the Israelites to their Promised Land but not to be paying attention to man’s word of direction to go. Has He spoken and not bring it to pass? Allow God to take you through just as He promised.

Prayer for today: Ask for His grace not to expire over your life in His word for you.
