FAITH CAPSULE: Are you with understanding to see your direction in the word of God?
Ezekiel 4
The word of God is directing as Proverbs 6:22 testifies, “When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.”
Are you with listening ability to the word of God in the journey of life?
The word of God does not go a miss, but man will go a miss from the word of God.
To Ezekiel, God spoke direction: “See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it.” (Ezekiel 4:15) Ezekiel also listened with understanding to see and received the direction by the word of God.
Every of your hearing and hearing (listening) in the word of God is the evidence of listening to see, which is the key to gain understanding.
Are you listening to understand the word of God?
Are you with understanding to see your victory in the word of God just like Joshua, Jeremiah, and many others in the pages of the Bible?
Are you with understanding to see your unfailing direction in the word of God just like Ezekiel and others in the pages of the Bible?
The word of God is the manual for all.
Live a life of understanding to be seeing and receive in the word of God.
Jesus is the Word of God. (John 1:1)
John 10:10 records the purpose of the coming Jesus: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Listen to the word of God to see God in Him (the word of God) to live life more abundantly?
John 14:25-27 records the gift of His peace: “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Every recording of the word of Jesus that sounds in your direction is the source of your peace.
Are you listening to understand and to see in the word of God?
If you are listening with understanding, you will see and receive as spoken to you.
Just in case the word has sounded to you but not remember, Jesus promised that the Helper, the Holy Spirit from God, in His name, will teach you to remember all that He has said.
In all your listening to the word of God, understand to see, to receive, and what you see will become of you.
God is good!
