FAITH CAPSULE: As a creation of God, are you living life by His way?

Job 21 

The word of God answered to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
Without a doubt, all created belongs to God, and there is no place to hide from the only creator of all man.
As a creation of God, are you living life by His way?
Are you living life by keeping to your ways in the place of the ways of God?
Are you living life by your ways instead of the ways of God because your ways seem right to you?
Listen, it is an error to be living life in your way that seems right.
The word of God warns about your way that seems right to you.
Proverbs 14:12 records the warning of God: There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
Jonah, a prophet of God that supposedly knows God, did not go by the direction, the way of God as directed by God. Jonah 1:1-3 documents the choice of the way of Jonah over the way God before him: “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.”
Jonah was careless and reckless when he responded to the way that seems right to him. His obedience to the only God was to obey as commanded by God, regardless of what seemed right to him or not.
The disobedient of Jonah placed him in the position of untimely death, but he cried out to God that answered for mercy deliverance of God.
God knows you more than you know yourself, and you should know to live every moment by the ways of God not to become a victim of untimely death. 
It is an act of wickedness to know the direction of the word of God for His way, to move in a different direction.
The word of God that is not hidden but clear enough for any, but taking to a different way, is the evidence of ignoring God.
Are you living life to ignore your creator directly or indirectly?
Again, without any doubt, walking against the way of God is telling God to depart from you.
Serving God is living life, by His way.
Job address the wicked: Yet they say to God, ‘Depart from us, For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways. Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we pray to Him? (Job 21:14-15)
Are you living life by your ways instead of the ways of God?
Come out of wickedness to live for God.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to live life by His way.
