TAKING GOD FOR GRANTED? Part 2

FAITH CASPULE: In this wicked world, listen to God’s word to seek Him diligently
TO SEEK GOD DILIGENTLY is by giving self to KEEPING HIS TESTIMONIES
Deuteronomy 6:17 buttressed, “You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.”
All man should be giving self to God’s testimonies to be blessed by God just like David was blessed.
Give self to God’s testimonies to gain His attention and be blessed as promised in Psalm 119:2, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!”
In the time David’s challenge of Goliath, his testimonies of God provoked the blessing of God which answered with a victory for David. 1 Samuel 17:45-47 documented, “Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.
To SEEK GOD DILIGENTLY is to declare but not to deny Him as God.
In life, regardless of the challenge, do not deny God but declare His as your God. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego the three friends of Daniel declared God as a God of deliverance. The three friends could not deny serving God but rejected not to serve gods or worship the gold image of Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar, with anger, threatened to send the three friends of Daniel into burning fiery fire. The three friends responded to Nebuchadnezzar’s threat: “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” (Daniel 3:16-18) In the burning fiery furnace, the salvation of God answered for Daniel’s friend for their deliverance. Declaring God is seeking God diligently to be delivered and not to become a victim of evil agenda.
In this wicked world, listen to God’s word to be able to understand that wisdom and knowledge in the word of God is a key to live life for the glory of God. Isaiah 33:6 said it all, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times and the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.” Do not take God for granted, seek Him diligently in His word, worship God and not worry.

Prayer for today: Ask God that is able to enable you seeking Him diligently.
