FAITH CAPSULE: What stops you from keeping the testimonies of God?
Deuteronomy 6
The testimonies of God are the proofs of God.
The testimonies of God are the evidence of His word.
Among reasons to keep the testimonies of God is to know Him in His word.
All man should know to trust and hope in Him, to claim His blessing.
Jeremiah 17:7 points out, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” To trust and not hope is rooted in the lack of knowledge, and it does not complete to claim His blessing.
All should know the testimony of God to fight for all that will know to stay in peace. Exodus 14:14 makes it known as stated: “The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
All should know that God thinks about all. He is a precious God that cares to think of all. Psalm 139:17 records, “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!”
Jeremiah 29:11 buttresses, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Testimony one does not know to keep will not position one to claim the blessings of keeping His testimony.
All should know that God is mindful of all. In Psalm 8:4, King David questioned with faith before God, “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?” Keep the testimony that God is mindful of all to claim His blessing.
All should know that God is the rock and refuge.
Psalm 62:6-8 testifies, “He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.”
All should know that God is always with us.
Matthew 28:20 records, “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. Keep the testimony of God, to Know God, as the blessing of His assurance.
All should know that God is not a partial God.
One that keeps His testimonies is qualified to claim His blessing. Romans 2:11 encourages all saying, “For there is no partiality with God.”
Remember, the testimonies of God are the proofs of God.
The testimonies of God are the evidence of His word.
