FAITH CAPSULE: It is never too late to turn back from despising God’s word.

Numbers 20:1-13

The word of God is to teach man if man will pay attention to the word of God to learn and do as it is written. Truly, the word of God is true to perform and perfect in the life of man that will do according to God’s word. Psalm 103:7 recorded, “He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.” For a true believer of God, there is no failure for direction in God’s ways. His acts are the revelation of His power which testifies that those that keep His testimonies shall diligently seek God. To be living life by God’s direction is seeking God diligently to arrive at God’s promise for man.
God repeatedly made His ways known to Moses. However, he could only see the promised land but not step on the Promised Land. Moses’ failure to hallow God resulted for him to short grace of God when he saw and not step on the Promised Land. Romans 3:23 is true as stated, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” When Moses was commanded by God to speak to rock for water provision, he struck the rock twice (Numbers 20:11-12) Man’s attention with no doubt should constantly give self to the word of God. Answering as a religious leader is not enough as excuse not to do as directed by God. The grace of God made Moses to see but not step on the promised land.
The acts of God were in the face of the Israelites to believe and rest in the promise of God yet, the Israelites repeatedly disregard the word of God and failed to see or stepped on the promised Land.
The Israelites were privileged to see acts of God which was the evidence of God’s power before and during the days in the wilderness journey. Israelites saw the firstborn of all the Egyptian masters died while their firstborns were safe. Israelites saw the Red Sea open with dry land as a passage to escape from Egyptians’ wicked hand. Despite the evidence of God’s power in His acts before the Israelites, all Israelites who left Egypt with age twenty and above did not arrive at Promised Land. Man should not despise God’s word for no reason. Proverbs 13:13 warned “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.” (Proverbs 13:13) Caleb and Joshua were the only ones that did not despised the word of God. Both Caleb and Joshua did not fail to keep their faith to keep God’s acts which gave them direction.
It is never too late to turn back from despising God’s word. Turn aside to God, He is the Unchanging Changer to change your situation for His glory upon your life. Continually give self to the word of God!

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God to keep you not to fail in the journey of life.
