FAITH CAPSULE: The direction for your life to get you is in the word of God.
Acts 9
The word of God that speaks in your direction will not fail you in the journey of life if you will hear and do accordingly. The word of God in Isaiah 55:11 encourages, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
The word of God is unfailing, to guide, to deliver, and to preserve.
Are you giving yourself to the word of God?
Is it the world that you are giving yourself to direct you?
Give yourself to the word of God.
The word of God you hear and certainly do will correct you to uphold you for the glory of God.
It was the word of God that sound for Paul the apostle that upholds him for the glory of God.
Saul of Tarsus (Paul the apostle) was on his journey to wreak havoc on the disciples of the Lord Jesus in Damascus when the word of God locates him. Acts 9:3-4 records the encounter of Saul, “As he journeyed, he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
Saul questioned the voice that sounded his name, and Jesus introduced Himself to him. The bible records, “So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” (Acts 9:6)
Saul heard from the Lord Jesus what he must do.
Do you know what you must do to move you forward in the calling of God?
Has the word of God sound in your direction but not move you forward?
Have you been hearing the word but not do?
Matthew 7:26 records the word of Jesus that speaks to all, “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish…”
Saul heard and did according to the word that sounds in his direction.
Saul changed to Paul, and from the moment of receiving instruction, Paul began to move in the direction of the calling for his life. Determination is not what will help, but the grace of God is what will get you into your divine assignment. The word of God promises that “He will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go and He will guide you with His eye” (Psalm 32:8).
What to do in your life will get you to where you must be in the Lord.
In every word that sounds in your direction, hear and do to live life for the glory of God.
Prayer for today: Ask that God enable you to hear and do according to His word.
