FAITH CAPSULE: God is in His word, to seek His word diligently will make a man to follow God.

Genesis 13

Among the evidence of looking up to God by seeing into his word will set one to be settled in the promises in the word of God.
When God makes a promise, and you are not looking up to God for His promise, you will miss out of His promise. Has He promised you something and you are looking down from His promise?
Seeking God diligently in His word is looking up and seeing in Him to live life for His glory, to be in the center of His divine assignment.
God commanded Abraham to look in the direction of nothing but to trust and hope for the manifestation of God’s word. Bible recorded:  And the Lord said to Abram after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your [c]descendants forever. And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.” (Genesis 13:14-17)
In God’s word, Abraham saw to possess the land which was more than imagination. Abram was able to look in the word of God to see land for children while he was yet to have a child in his life. In Abram’s looking, he was commanded to arise and walk in the promise of God as the evidence of Abrams faithfulness in God.
Abram’s looking to God, in His word is to hold fast in faith to have children when he was past age of having a child. God spoke to Abram: “And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.” Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” (Genesis 15:4-5) Abram’s looking to God was the evidence that Abram believed and was accounted to him for righteousness.
It is written in the pages of the Bible for all to learn by looking up to God diligently for direction. Psalm 121:1-2 testifies: I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.” God is in His word, to seek His word diligently will make a man to follow God.
Looking up to God is giving self to God’s word, to seek God diligently to see and become a winner in this continuous wicked world.

Prayer for today: Ask for God’s hand over your life to be looking up to God continually.
