FAITH CAPSULE: Worrying in the place of worshiping is one whose worry is god.
Exodus 2
What man worship represents man’s god. What man adore or give reverence to can be a representative of man’s god. What man builds up will actually build man up to become god which man worships. The Maya built jungle pyramids to worship their gods. What are you building up or what is building you that is having a place in your life as god? Apostle Paul admonished, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” One that give self or allows the word of God to build self is one that adores God. Word of God commanded, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” (Exodus 20:3)
Worshiping God is the one that truly adore God in His word with reverence in every way of life. Living by the word of God daily is evidence of being faithful before God. Many claims to be having faith but not engaging world challenges faithfully. With honesty, think about yourself, answer to yourself this question: Are you claiming faith or are you one that is actually faith-full (faithful) of God, living as worshipper of God? Romans 10:17 described faith, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” One that adopts self to hearing and hearing by the word of God will be living by the word of God. Worshiping God is the evidence of living by faith.
Habakkuk 2:4 stated, “…the just shall live by his faith.” All that pertains to living life is encased in living by the word of God (living by faith). Ones that live by faith must also see by faith. The word stated it, we walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7); we watch, stand by faith (1 Corinthians 16:13); faith purifies the heart (Acts 15:9); we are saved by faith through grace (Ephesians 2:8). Ones that do not live by faith shall live in fear. Faith is not worrying but worshiping God by way of life. Jesus warned against worrying, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25) One that worries in the place of worshiping is one whose worry is god. Who do you worship?
Exodus 2:1-2 documented, “And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months.” Moses was the child could not be killed because of mother’s faith. He was born at a time when every other parent could not see by faith but in fear because of the killing of the Hebrew sons. Moses, having life is the evidence of worshiping God by His word.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to be built by word of God, worshiping God by His word.
