FAITH CAPSULE: Give self continually observing the word of God to obtain unfailing promise of God.
Deuteronomy 4:1-14
The word of God is God. It is written, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” (John 1:13) Observing the word of is to see in God. Seeing in God will provoke doing according to the word of God. Think of it, doing the observed word of God is allowing God (word of God) to take charge on your behalf. It is not possible to observe and do exactly as commended by God and be a failure. The word of God calls our attention, “If you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God.” (Deuteronomy 28:1-2) Give attention to God (the word of God) by observing His word to deliver the promise of God as promised. God spoke to the children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land and His word speaks to one speaks all.
Doing what the word says demands unfailing obedience. Without observing what the word says, the chance of seeing to do in the word of God is not possible.
It is written, “Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I am driving out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.” (Exodus 34:11) One that observe the word of God will surely see to receive and become owner of the promise in the word of God. We are to take the word of God serious and not be a mere religious with no relationship with God.
Deuteronomy 4:1 stated, “Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe, that you may live…” Observing the word of God is a way to live and possess God’s promise.
It is written in Deuteronomy 4:6, “Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’” In the word of God to the Israelites is assurance for wisdom and understand which will make the Israelites become distinguished in life. Without doubt, the word of God to the Israelites speaks and answer to us today.
The word of God is true to make us free and not be a victim of failure when observing the word of God is way of life. Give self continually observing the word of God to possess the promises of God.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to be observing the word of God.
