FAITH CAPSULE: Confusion is not of God, belongs to disobeying God.

1 Kings 3 

Confusion is not of God but the evidence of the lack of understanding. 
In life, gain the understanding to make the right choice by doing according to the word of God.
Today, know to avoid confusion, give self to the direction of God that is the right choice to experience the deliverance and preservation from God.
Proverbs 2:11 admonishes, “Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you.”
Are you making the right choice before making your move?
God instructed all for the earth to fill, “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesis 1:28) 
Instead, giving to the word of God to multiply and fill, the choice to build a unified culture, to construct a tower the symbol and seal of common identity took place.
God wanted them to fill the earth, but they wanted to build a city for themselves. (Genesis 11:4) 
The move to Shinar was a turn away from the direction of God, a direct opposition to multiply and fill the earth. 
Building Babel was a wrong choice against the direction of God not taking a place to be preserved. 
The people then were lack of understanding as confusion took charge over their life activities. 
Man’s choice against God’s direction is always a wicked execution that never escapes God’s attention. For the people at the construction of Babel, God visited their disobedient to scatter them and confuse their language. (Genesis 11:8)
Are you applying discretion for your preservation and exercising understanding to keep you?
Having the understanding to avoid confusion is crucial.
King Solomon demonstrated the importance to have understanding, not becoming a victim of confusion.
The Bible documents about Solomon:
After Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings to the Lord, the Lord appeared to him. 1 Kings 3:5 records, “At Gibeon, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”  Solomon could think of nothing better but responded to God, “… give to Your servant an understanding heart…” (1 Kings 3:9) 
The request for understanding by Solomon pleases God. 1 Kings 3:10, “The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.” 
God added to Solomon wisdom for understanding. 
Wisdom compliments understanding, the combination of both shall give a knowing edge over confronting challenges of the world.
Proverbs 4:7 admonishes, “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore, get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.”
The word of God is direction, the way that will keep one in the journey of life. 
Today, make the choice that preserves one; gain an understanding that will keep living life for the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable making the right choice and applying understanding from God.
