FAITH CAPSULE: Where or who are you looking to in the challenges of the world?
Exodus 33
Are you looking up to God or looking down from God?
Look up to God continually, give Him regard, the antidote for a jealous God, the evidence of not seeking any other god.
Leviticus 19:31 records the word of God against seeking another god, “Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.” Know God and not look outside of Him at all times.
Looking up to God is the character of waiting on Him without a doubt. Know that God is a caring God that will not ignore such that waits on Him. Isaiah 64:4 testifies that God “…acts for the one who waits for Him.”
Let it be that you will be looking up to God continually and shall not become wasted in ways of life.
Looking up to God is the way of acknowledging Him for all He has done, all He is doing, and all He will do.
Are you looking up to God or looking down from God?
Looking up to God is living life with the fear of God.
With understanding, look to God to find the knowledge of God. (Proverbs 2:5)
Looking up to God is action (faith) that God sees all and measures as weight. 1 Samuel 2:3 testifies of God as, “…For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him, actions are weighed.”
Ask God to enable you to be living life by His word.
One that looks up to God is seeking God. Seeking God will know to call upon the Lord God consciously consistently. Psalm 18:4 encourages, “I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So, shall I be saved from my enemies.”
One that is looking up to God will know to keep eyes on God to experience His hand.
Looking up to God is seeking Him diligently for His way, not assuming the way to go. Moses, a man great in the hand of God, demonstrated the evidence of looking up to God for direction in the calling of God.
Exodus 33:12-13 documents about Moses looking to God, asking, “Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now, therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”
Exodus 33:14 records the answer of God, for Moses, “And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Who are you looking up to consciously or unconsciously?
Prayer for today: Ask that you will know and understand to be looking up to God.
