FAITH CAPSULE: Give yourself to the word of God to build you up.
Psalm 139
King David declares in Psalm 139: 23-24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties and see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.”
King David was a man after God’s own heart but searched his heart before God.
Who are you before God?
Do you search your heart, to know if you have given your life for God to build you up, to give you an inheritance among the sanctified?
Do you search your heart not to miss from claiming the promises in His word?
Search yourself continually to give yourself to the word of God that will build you up in God and not become a victim of the wicked world.
Apostle Paul cautions, “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.” (Acts 20:32)
To be build-up by the word of God is to be fear-full of God.
One with the fear of God will have an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
One with the fear of God is established in the righteousness of the Lord. One that is established in the righteousness of the Lord knows to praise God, to give thanks, to give vows for getting the attention of God.
The heritance of God is for those who fear God.
King David testifies, “For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.” (Psalm 61:5)
David was build-up by the word of God, his evidence of God’s servant as one among the sanctified.
Give yourself to the word of God to build you up.
Begin to live life as the servant of God with the fear of God.
Give yourself to the word of God to have an inheritance among those who are sanctified.
Isaiah 54:17 identifies the portion of the heritage of those who are sanctified, those who are a servant of God, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me, says the Lord”
Are you claiming “No weapon formed against you shall prosper…”?
Give yourself to the word of God to build you up for claiming the heritage of God’s servant.
David, a servant of God, lived life to claim the heritage of the servants of God.
Are you living life by God’s word?
Allow self to be build up by God’s word to be qualified to receive or contain the promises of God for those who give life to God’s word.
Prayer for today: Ask that you want to be build up by God’s word.
