FAITH CAPSULE: There is nothing like doing good under heaven that is beyond merciful God’s response.
Esther 8
The Bible records for all that the word of God is God as John 1:1 testifies, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
The Bible also records that the word is the spirit as John 6:63 records, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”
The Bible also confirms, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” ( John 4:24)
Truly, the Word of God is God and God’s word is the Spirit of God.
It is wise, and should a desire with one that wants to live life for God, to pray the word of Psalm 143:10 that states, “Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.”
When God, His Spirit that is good, becomes established in one’s life, such will have the testimony that mercy and truth of God belong to such.
The mercy of God is attainable for one that is doing good before God.
There is nothing like doing good under heaven that is beyond merciful God’s response.
One, Haman devised evil against the Jews, Mordecai gave guidance that led Esther to receive privilege before King which denied Haman’s evil devise. Bible records, “Now Esther spoke again to the king, fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to counteract the evil of Haman the Agagite, and the scheme which he had devised against the Jews.” (Esther 8:3) Esther devised good, and the mercy of God answered on behalf of all her people (Jews).
The Word of God in Proverbs 14:22 confirms, “…but mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.
One devising good, will attain the mercy of God.
In life, one that sows good will reap good
It is a wise saying that, “whatever a man sow is what a man will reap”
For example, as close as banana and plantain look alike, it is not possible to sow banana and reap plantain regardless of how look-alike they appear.
What are you sowing to reap?
Hosea 10:12 buttressed the word of God, “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy.”
Become one merciful to experience God’s mercy just as the word of God speaks to all, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” (Matthew 5:7)
Be merciful to attain God’s mercy over your life.
With understanding, know God to be doing good not just know about God. Seek God’s mercy so that His mercy will reign and rule in your life.
Prayer for today: Ask for the hand of God to be established in your life, to become a vessel of doing good to the glory of God.
