FAITH CAPSULE: Live life right to reap the goodness of God.
Psalm 2
One that does not know God does not know to fear Him.
Wickedness reigns continually, especially ones that know about God.
One cannot know God indeed and not fear Him.
To hear God will know about God, not to know God to fear Him, but hearing and hearing by the word of God will know God to fear Him.
To fear God is the evidence of one that has faith. Romans 10:17 admonishes, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
No one can fear God without hearing the word of God when His word gains entrance to give light. Psalm 119:130 records it, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
The word of God is God and God is light. (1 John 1:5)
Know God by His word to fear Him.
Fear God to obey Him.
Obedience is serving God.
Serving God just by attending church, being a church member for thousand years, or making church home does not make it up as serving God.
Serving God is encased in having fear for God. Psalm 2:11 said it all, “Serve the Lord with fear…”
Serving God right is the evidence of being righteous before God.
Also, serving God wrong is evidence of being wicked before God.
Without a doubt, God knows all.
How are you serving God?
David searches his service before God to re-address himself for doing what is right before God. Bible records:
Psalm 77:6, “I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, and my spirit makes diligent search.”
Psalm 139:1, “O Lord, You have searched me and known me.”
Psalm 139:23, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties.”
Word of God demands all to serve God to be righteous before God, doing right at all times.
To be doing right before God is, knowing the word of God, living life by His word.
Isaiah 3:10-11 records the mind of God how individuals serve God:
“Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, For the reward of his hands shall be given him.”
To be serving God right is sowing fruit to reap from God.
Living life to please God is sowing to reap good before God.
Living life to know good before God and not doing is wrong, the mark of a wicked one.
Who are you before God?
How are you serving God?
Search yourself before God.
Are you righteous, or are you wicked?
Interestingly, serving God by all is not hidden but in the word of God to be identified.
Despise from wickedness, live life right before God to reap the goodness of God.
Prayer for today: Ask from God that God enable you to serve Him right.
