FAITH CAPSULE: Find God to live life for the glory of God.
Psalm 75
Consistently, make it your way of life to find God, to keep you, to lead you, and preserve you not to become a waste in the life He has given you. God is near for all that is not far from Him by finding Him.
To find God more is knowing more of God, not just knowing about God.
To find God demands:
Listen to God in His word.
Watch for God to locate Him.
Wait on God.
LISTEN TO FIND GOD
Listening to God will provoke the blessing of God by keeping His ways, hearing the instruction of God not to despise His word to find God.
Blessed is one that listens, while the curse is for one that fails to listen to God. Without listening to God, there will be no understanding and not find God. The word of Jesus in John 8:43 points out, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
To hear is not listening, but hearing and hearing by the word of God is one that listens. Listening will understand and found God, living life right before God.
WATCH TO FIND GOD
The word of God that sounds in the direction of one to find God demands attention to see or observe God in His words.
Joshua 1:8 records about meditation: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
Meditating is communicating with God to find God.
Watch and pray will lead not into temptation for sin. Without sin, one will see God, and with sin, no one can see God.
God is near for all that give attention to see Him by identifying the work of His hand. Psalm 75:1 testifies, “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.” Keep it in mind, the work of God is His Word, and calling His name for His word, is the evidence that He is near.
Know it that in seeing God is found in the work of His word.
WAIT TO FIND GOD
It takes to wait on God to claim expectation for seeking from God.
The manifestation of expectation in God is the evidence of one that finds God.
God is a good God that will wait to act for those who wait on Him.
The recording of waiting on God are the testimonies of finding God.
Isaiah 64:4 records, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
One that is waiting on God is with the testimony of one that finds God.
Wait on God, find God to experience His grace, mercy, and the blessings of God.
Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to find Him.
