FAITH CAPSULE: Ask for His presence in your daily journey.

Exodus 33

The way of God for man is His word. The word of God is God. Moses asked for His way, “Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” (Exodus 33:13) In the way of God there is direction, deliverance and preservation. Are you asking for His way in your life? It does not matter how long you have been taking to your way, but it is true and certain that the way of God cannot be wrong. The way of man cannot be compared to the way of God. In the way of God there is life but in the way man there is death. Proverbs 16:25 buttress, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” God cannot be mocked; God sees from where man is coming from to where man is going. Which way are you going? Taking to a way outside of the way of God is a way with no rest which can lead to self- destruction.
God answered to Moses request for His way, “And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Exodus 33:14) The word of God is God and His word is His presence. The way of God is written in the pages of the Bible. Moses asked from God and he received answer from God. Psalm 103:7, “He made known His ways to Moses…” Are you asking for His way to answer for your way?
God cannot be deceived as man adopt to God’s way without fail. It is impossible to take to the way of God and end up in destruction. However, it is evident that when man take outside of God’s way self-destruction becomes possibility. In the journey of life, there are so many ways that seems right but not all leads to life. The ways that seems right to man are outside of the way of God.
Give yourself to self-examination and avoid self-destruction. The book of Proverbs 16:2 stated, “All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits.” Will you be sincere with yourself and let God direct or redirect your steps into His way? God wants to be pleased with how we walk in His way because it is the evidence of having faith in Him. Proverbs 16:7 admonished us, “When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” The Lord God has spoken, it is left for man to ask and know to walk in God’s way.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to be asking for His way in your walk daily.
