FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is a live wire.
Psalm 119:41-56
Live life by the word of God to be full of His presence. God is light (1John 1:5) and Psalm 119:130 records, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Give yourself to meditate on the word of God.
Meditate about the word of God:
FIRST
Acts 20:32 records, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up…” The word of God builds up obedient ones.
Noah received and believed the word of God to build an ark as his vehicle against a flood of destruction in a region that hardly rains. Genesis 6:22 testifies to the obedience of Noah, “Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.”
Do the word of God to build you up against the wickedness of the world. Ask for the word of God to be established in you.
SECOND Responsibility is the price for greatness, the life of commitment to the word of God.
One with a commitment to the word of God will have the word of God in the heart, not just in the mouth.
Seek God with all heart, with all soul, with all strength. Deuteronomy 4:29 records the consequence for seeking God, “…you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Responsibility of commitment to the word God will not be discouraged by the surrounding world not to seek God diligently to find God.
Prayerfully be committed to His word.
THIRD Psalm 107:20 records, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Prayerfully engage Jeremiah 23:29 as it records the assurance of God for all, “Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Ask that whatever it is, that is not of God, clouding your destiny, as a garment to burn off by the fire of the word of God.
Ask that whatever is set in place as a hindrance against your life, that you know and not know, be broken by the hammer nature of the word of God.
FOURTH One that is full of this WORLD cannot be hungry for the word of God. It is possible to fast from food, but fasting from the word of God will lead one far from God to become a victim of the wicked world. Feed on the word of God to build you up.
Apostle Paul admonishes, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” (Acts 20:32)
Prayer for today: Ask that God enable you to give yourself to His word.
