FAITH CAPSULE: Are you taking God for granted, not doing as commanded in His word?
Deuteronomy 11
Living life is not a right, but it is the privilege of God to be alive.
Are you taking God for granted, for His gift of life you have?
Know and understand that all are created by God for all to be living life for His glory. Revelations 4:11 declares, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will, they exist and were created.” One that is not living life for the glory of God, such is taking God for granted.
Are you with excuses not to be living for the glory of God?
In your service to God, are you pleasing yourself but displeasing God? Take note that God is a long-suffering God, and it is not a license for any man not to be living life for God as His creation.
Stop taking God for granted, live life for God by lifting your hands as submission with the expectation reaching to God.
Continually, living life for God is to remain connected with God.
God is a good God that is worth for all, to be living life for His glory.
Seeking God diligently with all heart and with all soul is to find Him. Deuteronomy 4:29 speaks to all, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Among ways to live life for God, seeking God diligently instead of you taking God for granted is seeking God diligently obediently to his word
Living life to obey the word of God is a sacrifice that is consistent, costly, and not cheap. A sacrifice that takes self away from self to give all to God, seeking God diligently, is obedient.
One that is living life obediently to the word of God fears God, is undoubtedly a treasure to God. Exodus 19:5 records, “Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.”
Are you taking God for granted, not doing as commanded in His word?
Abraham lived life for the glory of God. Abraham could not withhold from the command of God but did as commanded by God, and God recognized the obedient of Abraham. Genesis 22:12 records the testimony of the word of God towards Abraham, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” Abraham could not take God for granted but obeyed God, lived life for God by seeking God with all his heart and soul.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you not to take Him for granted.
