FAITH CAPSULE: One that is loyal to God will know to be keeping eyes on God.
Exodus 1, 2
It is written, “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” (Psalm 119:130) The entrance of the word of God into man’s life is only possible by hearing and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) When word enters man, having faith in God becomes established in man’s life. Do you truly have faith in God by carrying the word of God day and night?
Knowing about God by quoting or making noise of the word of God is not same as knowing God. Seek God diligently in His word to know God. Knowing God is the assurance not to be a victim of this wicked world. Knowing God will prompt man to be loyal to God. One that is loyal to God will know to be keeping eyes on God. 2 Chronicles 16:9 buttressed, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…”
Keep eyes for the eyes of God and know that the agenda of the enemy to break you is what God will turn around to build you for His glory. God is not limited He is a sovereign God to deliver and preserve the loyal at the heart for Him. The Bible recorded that a new king came to power in Egypt who did not know Joseph. The king not knowing Joseph inculcated inside of him the fear of the growth of the children of Israel’s population. The king of Egypt passed a law that put the children of Israel under the affliction of taskmasters.
Are you experiencing the pain of wicked in your life?
It does not matter what the activity of the evil one is about, if you keep eyes on the Lord, His word of deliverance will answer for you. Whatever God builds, no man can bring it down. Pharaoh’s effort to terminate the growth of the children of Israel resulted the multiplication of the Israelites. The appointed taskmasters’ effort failed and the direction to midwives to kill every male son could not interrupt the plans of God. God evidently increased, delivered and preserved the Israelites. Pharaoh, in his effort tried to reduce where God is increasing made a command, “So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, ‘Every son who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.’” (Exodus 1:22) It was after Pharaoh’s command to terminate the growth of Israelites that Moses was born. Despite the wicked command of Pharaoh, Moses grew up to be used as the hand of God’s deliverance of Israelites from wicked agenda of Pharaoh.
Whatever of the wicked is using or set to use in breaking you will make you up for the glory of God. Every hand that has gone out to destroy you will rather deliver you and not become a victim of wicked world. Concerning your challenges God does have final say.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God to seek God diligently by keeping eyes on Him.
