FAITH CAPSULE: Where is your position in the promising word of God?

Deuteronomy 1

A mountain top is the place of target to see through the journey ahead in the center of divine’s assignment. Every journey to a mountain top should give a mindset not to settle for mountain bottom. Mountain bottom is a possible place of comfort. The disadvantage of mountain bottom is to take away the sight of potential breakthrough to the mountain top which is the arrival to the center of man’s divine assignment.
The Israelites experienced the comfort of mountain bottom in their journey to God’s promised land. God called them out of the bottom mountain as recorded in Deuteronomy 1:6-7, “The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.” It is possible for man to engage comfort and not continue in the journey to possess fully. Are you dwelling in the choice of place instead of God’s assigned ground for you?
At the time of God’s calling of the Israelites out of the mountain bottom was for the Israelites attention stating, “See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land…” (Deuteronomy 1:8) Possessing what is yet at hand demands faith to see in the place of nothing. God’s promises in His word are not visible in the physical until man begins to see in the word of God as true. From today, begin to see in the word of God to know that possibility is certain in the place of impossibility. The word of God has never fail to deliver but only perform perfection. Above all, His word does not return to Him void except man becomes voided in rising and engaging what He has promised to do.
In the journey of life, coming out of mountain bottom without able to see in the word of God is the evidence of fear to fail. Give no room for fear and discouragement. Moses warned about fear and discouragement while emphasizing to the Israelites the need to see in the promise word of God, “Look, the Lord your God has set the land before you; go up and possess it, as the Lord God of your fathers has spoken to you; do not fear or be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 1:21) Fear is the opposite of faith. With discouragement in fear, no man can see and possess in the promise of God.
Where is your position in the promising word of God? Are you allowing fear and discouragement to take over the driver seat of your journey from the mountain bottom to the mountain top? God is forever faithful with His promises in His word.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to rise for the glory God.
