FAITH CAPSULE: Are you mind-full of God or selfish to your world?

Psalm 8

One that is selfish is lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with self to profit or pleasure. The character of a selfish one is not to be mindful of others.
One that is selfish will hardly listen.
One that is selfish avoid responsibility.
One that is selfish does not have consideration for the time for others.
Selfish ones are not mindful of others the evidence of self-centeredness, not the spirit of God.  
Think of this: How can one that is not mindful of others be mindful of God?
David asked God: “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?” (Psalm 8:4)
Does the question of David before God speak to you?
Are you mindful of God?
In the world today, man is full of himself while God is empty in man. 
The empty of God in man is the evidence of not living by the word of God, the lack of fear of God. 
Today, the majority no longer fears God with their heart but with the mouth.
The lack of fear of God is the evidence of misplacement of the word (command, law) of God, and it is the automatic route into the path of eternal damnation.
Without any compromise, the will of God for man is to fear God. 
No one is born to this world with the knowledge to fear God.
The knowledge to fear God comes from learning in the word of God. 
Deuteronomy 31:12-13 buttresses the need to learn and fear God, “Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and stranger who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the LORD your God and carefully observe all the words of this law, “and that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to possess.” 
To live a life with the fear of God is the only way to be able to humble self and become obedient to God continually.
The Law of God will cause tenderness of heart. 
With a tender heart, there is a place for humility. Without humility, obedience is not possible. The word records about the obedient of Jesus, “…humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.” (Philippians 2:8)
The will of God is for man to fear Him. 
Do you fear God indeed and in truth? 
Are you lost from the word of God? 
One that does not learn from the word of God is one that will be misplaced, from God.
Fear God and know to Him.
Deuteronomy 24:29 identifies what it takes to find God, “…seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul seek Him and you will found Him” 
Do not be deceived but fear God from the depth of your heart.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to live a life for His glory.
