FAITH CAPSULE: In the journey of life, how you walk will determine where you sit and what you stand for.
Romans 4
Contentment, covetousness, complaint, compromise, commitment, conscience, continuity can be identified as the seven-track pointer. The seven-track pointer will keep man before God through the journey of life. With discipline, the journey of life with attention to embrace contentment, covetousness, complaint, compromise, commitment, conscience, continuity is certain to keep man from falling, failing or faltering from the presence of God.
With contentment man is bound to be satisfied. With covetousness which is rooted in greediness should not have a place in the life of man. Complaint can be grumbling before God instead of complimenting God for His goodness. Are you one compromising by giving self to concession in the place of taking a stand for the right doing? Commitment is engaging self to God’s word unceasingly. Man is to have conscience which is the sense of right and wrong before God. Continuity is a flow and not to be breaking on and off walking in and out of the word of God.
Are you a discipline man in the word of God? To be discipline is to live life as a true disciple of Christ. Through the pages of the bible, many with discipline to engage the seven-track pointer were able to do great exploit to the glory of God. However, some started their journey engaging the seven-track pointer but could not embrace all but faulted before God.
Among all, Abraham was distinct in his journey of life. In it all, the journey of Abraham’s faithful life was accounted to him for righteousness. (Romans 4:9) One like Daniel live life to see and survive four different rulers but was not recorded for voiding the seven-track pointer in his journey. The bible identified Daniel stating, “…but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” (Daniel 11:32) Daniel knew his God as he kept in line of the seven-track pointer before God.
In life, man’s engagement to the business of God is certain to succeed. What are you giving your life to outside of God’s business? Many like Abraham and Daniel took to the business of God and they achieved success to the glory of God. In the journey of life, how you walk will determine where you sit and what you stand. God is watching to bless man that keep his walk.
Pay attention: In the journey of life, whenever contentment is missing in man’s life, covetousness sets in and feeds into complaints which become the act of rebellion. With rebellion, conscience is sealed off and compromising God’s word establishes itself. A believer that compromises is one that demonstrates lack of commitment. Lack of commitment is the evidence that there is no continuity in living life by the word of God.
With discipline adopting to the seven-track pointer, live life for the glory of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to keep you in line of His word for His glory.
