FAITH CAPSULE: Be near God, the Word of God, the power of God.
Joshua 1
God is near to all.
Are you near to God?
God is the perfect creator of all that is not far from no one but the choice for anyone to be far from God.
The book of Genesis to Revelation records that God is not far but near.
Deuteronomy 30:14 states, “But the word is very near you, (A)in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.”
Romans 10:8 records, “…The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach)
Are you giving yourself to the Word of God that is near but not far from all?
The Word of God is God.
John 1:1 testifies, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
The Word of God answers to living life.
The Word of God is near for one that will establish self in the word of God to experience the power of God.
Know that the Word of God is near and is power.
Hebrews 4:12 states, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
The word of God is near to gaining entrance if there is a desire to receive the word of God.
Psalm 119:30 encourages, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
God in His word is near to gain entrance.
All should enable the self to be near the word of God continually.
Paul admonishes in Acts 6:4, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
God is near for all to engage His presence day and night.
One that mediates the word of God is near to God.
After the death of Moses, the Lord spoke to Joshua in Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
One that meditates consistently in the Word of God shall have the Word of God established in the self.
Be near God, to know God, not to know about God.
Daniel 11:32 informs us, “the people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits.”
Moses and Daniel engaged the Word of God to have the Word of God established in their life to live a life of strength and carry out great exploits.
Be near God, the Word of God, the power of God, not to live a life of waste but to live to the glory of God.
Prayer for today: Ask that you shall live in the near of God all the days God bestows on you.
