FAITH CAPSULE: See what the Word of God speaks to you to receive what you see, to become of you.
Joshua 6
In the Word of God, there is the direction that never fails. For example, Joshua needed to behold (see) the word of God to gain boldness and character for winning over Jericho.
Jericho posed as an enemy, with an attempt to deny the advance of the Israelites to the Promised Land. Joshua 6:1-2 records the calling of Joshua to see (to behold) in the Word of God, “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.”
See what the Word of God speaks to you to receive what you see, to become of you.
Joshua moved by what he saw in the word of God with direction against the enemy (the challenge of the Jericho wall). The Bible record the result of seeing and action according to the Word of God: “The wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. And they utterly destroyed all.” (Joshua 6:20-21)
Joshua listened; he was able to behold (to see) direction in the word of God as he gained boldness and character to become the winner over Jericho.
Jacob was running away from his brother (Esau), and he needed boldness and charter to succeed in his journey. God responded to the need of Jacob when He commanded him to behold (see) in His word stating, “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” (Genesis 28:15)
Always listen to see (behold) in the word of God, to obtain the boldness and character, having trust and hope in God.
To behold (see) in the Word of God, one shall replace fear with faith that is rooted in boldness and character gained in the Word of God.
In your way of life, engage the Word of God by listening with understanding and know that it gives life to the just ones. Habakkuk 2:4 buttresses, “…the just shall live by his faith.” By the word of God, live life as one with boldness and character.
God magnifies His word above His name. (Psalm 138:2)
The Word of God is worthy to deliver; His word is mighty and will preserve one that beholds the word of God.
Listen to the Word of God to see as sent for your healing and deliverance. Psalm 107:20 buttresses, “He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.”
Do you listen to God?
Listen to see in the word of God, and gain boldness and character that makes one be a winner for the glory of God.
God is power; God that delivered Israelites is still in the business of deliverance and preservation if one will take a position that one sees (behold) God in His word.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to always see in His word.
