FAITH CAPSULE: Be MINDFUL of God, living life by the word of God.
Psalm 8
The word of God is God. (John 1:1) One that is FULL of God (Word) will be MINDFUL of God.
Are you MINDFUL of God or MINDFUL of the world?
The mind of the majority is occupied by the world, and not mindful of God. How can one that is not mindful of God, the creator, will be mindful of neighbor or family?
Psalm 8:4 records David’s question before God, “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?” God is mindful of man, while man is mindful of the world.
Give yourself to the word of God to be mindful of God, not to become a victim of this wicked world.
Jeremiah 12:1-2, identifies ones with mouth-full of the word of God with empty of God in the mind, “Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth But far from their mind.”
One with mind-less of place for God will be living life as a wicked one before God.
Take note to know that nothing goes under heaven, with all man, God sees and will judge all at His appointed time.
Genesis 6:5-7 records God’s response to the wickedness of man, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
Are you mindful of God or mindful of the world?
Consider that it is time to come out of the world by giving yourself to the word of God.
Giving self to the word of God is the same as to come out of religion into Christ’s reality.
Today, be responsible before God.
Responsibility is the price of greatness. It is for all to know the truth of God as John 8:32 records, “…And YOU shall know the truth, and the truth shall make YOU free.” It is the responsibility for all to study, search in His word, to KNOW the TRUTH of God.
Responsibility before God is not making the noise of God’s name without living by His word.
Responsibility before God will not tell lies to deceive and manipulate others in the name of God. Desire to be responsible before God in this coming year.
Responsibility is for one to become MINDFUL of God, living life by the word of God.
Prayer for today: Ask for God to enable you to become full of Him by His word.
