FAITH CAPSULE: The Word of God is God.
Joshua 6
The Bible speaks that, in the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John1:1)
The Word of God is sent for man to behold God in His Word.
The ability to listen to God in His word is what will make man behold (see) God for direction, to live life for God.
The Word of God is God.
Without a doubt, when one listens to the Word of God, one must behold (see) in the word of God and be built up with boldness and character.
In the Word of God, there is a direction that never fails. For example, Joshua needed to behold (see) the word of God to gain boldness and character for winning over Jericho.
Jericho posed as an enemy’s attempt to stop Israelites advance to the Promised Land. Joshua 6:1-2 records the calling of Joshua to see (to behold) in the Word of God, “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” Until you see in what the Word of God speaks to you, you cannot receive what you see, to become of you.
Joshua listened; he was able to behold (see) direction in the word of God as he gained character and boldness to become winner over Jericho.
God wants all to see in Him (His word) to engage direction not to be a failure.
Are you seeking for direction by listening to God’s word to gain boldness and character in the face of challenges?
Jacob was to engage a journey, his course of running away from his brother, and he needed boldness and charter to succeed in his journey. God responded to the need of Jacob when He commanded him to behold (see) in His word stating, “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” (Genesis 28:15) Today, listen to see (behold) in the word of God, to obtain the boldness and character, having trust and hope in God.
To behold (to see) in the Word of God, one shall replace fear with faith that is rooted in boldness and character gained in the Word of God.
God magnifies His word above His name. (Psalm 138:2)
The Word of God is worthy to deliver; His word is mighty and will preserve one that beholds the word of God.
Do you listen to God?
Listen to see in the word of God, and gain boldness and character that makes one to be a winner for the glory of God.
God is power; God that delivered Israelites is still in the business of deliverance and preservation if one will take a position that one sees (behold) God in His word.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to always you to see in His word.
