FAITH CAPSULE: Give yourself to the word of God.
2 Samuel 22
Word of God is worthy and profitable to trust and hope in it for one that allows its entrance into the heart.
2 Samuel 22:31 records the character of the word of God, “As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”
First is the way of God.
Moses proved the way of God is to find grace in His sight.
Moses confirmed the trust of God in his question with the answer he received from God. Moses asked God, “Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Exodus 33:13-14) The way of God is perfect because taking to it is to encounter grace in the sight of God that gives rest.
Secondly, the word of God is proven.
The creation of heaven and earth by the word of God is proven, and having a place in it will not fail. The bible made us know that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-3) The word is proven it comforts in a time of affliction as testified, “This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life.” (Psalm 119:50)Also, the word of God is proven to give rest because it is true that God magnified His word above all His name. (Psalm 138:2)
Thirdly, God is a shield to all who trust in Him.
Through the pages of the bible, the testimonies are clear that by His doing, He is a shield giving deliverance and preservation.
For example, God declared to be a shield for Abraham not to be afraid in Genesis 15:1, “…Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” God was the shield in the old days, and He is still the shield beyond times to come.
Are you distracted from trusting God?
In times of challenges, do not be distracted but trust God.
With trusting God, the peace of God reigns. Indeed, and in truth, it is not possible to hear the testimonies of God and doubt the word of God.
When you hear from God, there will be no fear but peace.
In faces of challenges, the whole world can say no; but you will say yes that is based on trusting the word of God.
The existence of doubt is the evidence that you have not heard from Him. Take to the word of Isaiah 26:3-4, “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind stayed on You because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.”
The word of God is profitable to trust in it.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to rest in His worth word.
