FAITH CAPSULE: Know to be waiting on God.
2 Samuel 6
Knowing to wait on God will not live a life of waste but live life for the glory of God.
Ask God to enable you to be waiting on Him continually.
God is a good God.
God is the unchanging changer.
God is God that reverses irreversible.
God is God that remembers with favor and visits with salvation.
Without a doubt, God is not a careless God that blesses one that does not do according to His word.
Those that do as the word of God commands will experience the blessing of God.
Are you expecting the blessing of God that is yet to manifest in your life?
How long have you been looking up to receive from God that is not yet in place for you?
For you, this week or month of the year that you are yet to experience expectation is never too late for God to locate you.
Are you walking in line with God to provoke His blessing over your life?
In this season, know to wait on God.
Waiting on God is asking from God.
Ask from God to search you to know your ways, to correct and lead you.
David, a man after the heart of God, knew to wait on God by asking: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24)
Waiting on God will always lead to an unfailing direction of God.
There is a consequence when waiting on God to know in your way of life.
Waiting on God will reveal a need to make changes in life by identifying where one is doing wrong in the right place.
UZZAH did wrong in the place of doing right that leads to his sudden death.
At the time of the return of the Ark of God from the house of Abinadab, the violation of unintentional Uzzah was an error that cost him life.
Uzzah touched the Ark of God against the command of God.
Waiting on God before going out or coming will deliver not to become a victim of ERROR, the experience of UZZAH.
THE ERROR OF UZZAH:
2 Samuel 6:6-7
And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error, and he died there by the ark of God.
A failure to wait on God can lead to physical death (like Uzzah) or can lead to emotional or spiritual death or stagnation in the walk of life.
Praying before God is a key to open up a solution to challenges when not pray a miss. James 4:3 warns against praying a miss, “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”
Pray with understanding.
Prayer for today: Ask before God to enable you to wait on Him continually.
