FAITH CAPSULE: To believe the truth of God is knowing to have an edge waiting on God.
Matthew 7
The truth of God is the assurance to wait on God without regret.
One with the truth of God is on the side of the word of God that does not fail.
Jesus is the truth of God that never fails. (John 14:6)
Jesus spoke the truth to those who believe (not just the Jews) saying, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32)
Abiding in the word of God is possible when there is knowledge of the truth of God.
Knowledge is the application of wisdom.
Understanding is paying attention to wisdom because wisdom is instruction.
Jesus wants all to know the truth that will make free possible.
Among the truth that helps is, to know to wait on God.
What is it about waiting on God?
Waiting is not fun when there is no knowledge of the truth about waiting.
Waiting can be a pain but with knowledge of its truth, it often turns to gain.
Waiting in time of challenges demands to remain calm until expectation becomes manifested.
Waiting on God can deliver answers such as yes, no, or to wait.
With knowledge of the truth, it is understanding asking, seeking, and knocking for the intervention of God.
Jesus buttresses, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7)
In life, understanding to wait by asking, seeking, and knocking is the key that makes believers know the truth which makes one free.
God will always act for those who wait on Him with knowledge of the truth. Isaiah 64:4-5 testifies, “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear; nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him. You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways…”
Isaiah 64:5 identifies three ways of truth that will activate God for one that waits on Him:
God meets with him who rejoices.
God meets with one that does righteousness.
God meets with those who remember His ways.
Apostle Paul knows the truth of waiting and having God to act when he repeatedly encourages about rejoicing in the Lord always. (Philippians 4:4)
Paul also encourages all to be awake to righteousness, and do not sin. (1Corinthians 15:34)
The word of God encourages all to remind Him concerning the work of His hand. (Isaiah 43:26)
The word of God is not just a story but a secret that will deliver with the answer unto a believer.
A believer with knowledge of the truth of the word of God will know to wait on God with expectation without frustration.
Get knowledge and know that God acts for the one who waits for Him.
Prayer for today: Ask God to open up your understanding of His word.
