FAITH CAPSULE: God will keep loyal ones to Him in every area of living life.

Ezra 8

What man do not understand will not work for man. The word of God is God. The ear and the eyes of God are in His word. It is for fools not to understand that “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…” (2Chrnicles 16:9) Those who are loyal to God by keeping to God’s word are the ones who rely on God. It is faith to consciously rely on God with expectation to show forth on one’s behalf in every area of life. From today, if man will begin to walk right before God, He will not look for man to overcome in time of challenges. The word of God that never fails promised, “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.” (Psalm 34:15)
Gain understanding in the word of God that the eye of God will keep loyal ones to Him in every area of living life. Also, the hand of God will keep loyal ones with favor. The testimony of the psalmist pointed out that it is the fear of God that provokes His eye to be upon His children. (Psalm 33:18)
It is written, “Understand, you senseless among the people; and you fool, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? (Psalm 94:8-9) Are you consciously seeking His good? Provoking the hand of God to be upon man is for those who seek His good. Ezra testified, “…The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.” (Ezra 8:22) We must seek God to serve God and He will always make good for those who serve Him.
When it was time for God to bring the Israelites out of bondage of over four hundred reas, God said to Moses, “But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go. And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be, when you go, that you shall not go empty-handed.” (Exodus 3:19-21) The hand of God by God’s word brought out Israelites out bondage and they did not go empty handed. By favor of the hand of God, they plundered the Egyptians. (Exodus 3:22) The same hand that brought Ezra and the children of Israel out of captivity favored them by meeting their needs in their journey. With understand, seek for God’s eyes and His hand during your journey of life.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of wisdom, understanding and knowledge in His word for your journey of life.
