FAITH CAPSULE: One that sees God will KNOW God to answer the calling of God by turning to God.
Exodus 3
Looking away from God is not looking for God to find God.
One that looks for God that is always near to all shall know to turn to God.
The evidence to KNOW GOD is to TURN ASIDE to God.
It is an error, incomplete to look at God but not turn aside to God.
All must TURN ASIDE to God.
Looking for God will find God to TURN ASIDE to God.
Turning aside to God is essential to engage the calling of God.
For example, Moses could not live life in the calling of God until he TURNED ASIDE to God.
Exodus 3:2-4 records
“Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. and he led the flock to the back of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. and the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So, he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” so when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” and he said, “here I am.” (exodus 3:2-4)
Moses looked without getting the calling of God until he turned aside to see.
The key to arriving at the calling of God demands turning aside to see God.
One that sees God will KNOW God to answer the calling of God by turning to God.
The world is full of distractions from inside to outside and will deny turning aside to look for God, to find God.
However, with desire and persistent PRAYER, one WILL not fail but turn aside to God. It was the prayer of Jesus that positioned the faith of Peter to turn to God.
Many are looking outside for God wrongly by running from church building to another building, giving self to empty promises by counting on man but not committed to God (the evidence of knowing about God to turn to God.)
Knowing about God but not knowing God is prevalent (widespread) even among many acclaimed believers.
Are you running after a man posing in the name of a great man of God but not knowing GOD to turn aside to God?
Do you KNOW GOD to turn aside to God?
With desire, strive to know God and turn aside to God.
Turning aside to God shall come out of religion, get into the reality of Christ knowing to do according to His word.
Prayer for today: Ask God to turn your eyes from looking at worthless things and revive you in His way.
