FAITH CAPSULE: Meditate quotes that are rooted in the word of God.

Joshua 1

GIVE YOURSELF TO THE WORD OF GOD
Psalm 143:8 testifies, “Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning. For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk for I lift up my soul to You.”  Hearing, observing, and obeying God in the morning will make the difference for the day. Make provision for hearing the word of God first in the morning. Trust and hope in God for daily endeavors. Also, what man hears will be like a compass for navigation through the challenges of life. 
Give yourself to the word of God to lead you with deliverance.
KNOW TO AVOID SELF DESTRUCTION
Pride is a route to self-destruction.
It is pride that denies man not to hear and give ear to the word of God. Jeremiah 13:15 buttresses, “Hear and give ear: do not be proud, for the Lord has spoken.” 
Search yourself to identify what is denying you from giving yourself to a route of self-destruction. Whatever seems right but not the word of God is not right before God. Proverbs 14:12 warns, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”
Pride is doing against the word of God.
BE RESPONSIBLE TO PURSUE GOD 
Pursuing God is a responsibility, which is the ability to act on your own, without supervision. Pursue God to become godly. Today, acclaimed believers are not conversant in the word of God but conversant in the things of the world, having a form of godliness but lack of the power of God. 2Timothy 3:5 refers to wicked ones, the non-lovers of the Lord, stating, “having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! Be a responsible one to pursue God by living godliness with the evidence of the power of God in your life.
RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE GOD IS THE PRICE FOR GREATNESS
The venture of David to save Keilah from Philistines made David inquire direction from God. In 1 Samuel 23:2 records, “Therefore David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?”. The Lord said to David, “…Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.” 
Inquiring from God in the time of deciding for the unfailing direction is the evidence of one that is responsible before God. Get to know that responsibility is the price to be great in the hand of God.
Be responsible for seeking the direction of God.
LIVE LIFE FOR THE CALLING OF GOD
The called one that obeys the direction of God will be connected to God to arrive center of divine assignment in life.
However, answering the calling of God will mount with challenges, but obedience to God will deliver in it all. Psalm 34:19 encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” 
In the journey of answering the calling of God, stagnation will delay and, mockery will mount to discourage but, the miracle of victory will answer.
Are you called by self, by a certain man, or by God?
Live life for God.
