FAITH CAPSULE: Find God to live life for the glory of God.

Psalm 75

Consistently, make it your way of life to find God, to keep you, to lead you, and preserve you not to become a waste in the life He has given you. God is near for all that is not far from Him by finding Him. 
To find God more is knowing more of God, not just knowing about God.
To find God demands:
Listen to God in His word.
Watch for God to locate Him.
Wait on God.
LISTEN TO FIND GOD
Listening to God will provoke the blessing of God by keeping His ways, hearing the instruction of God not to despise His word to find God.
Blessed is one that listens, while the curse is for one that fails to listen to God. Without listening to God, there will be no understanding and not find God. The word of Jesus in John 8:43 points out, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
To hear is not listening, but hearing and hearing by the word of God is one that listens. Listening will understand and found God, living life right before God.
WATCH TO FIND GOD
The word of God that sounds in the direction of one to find God demands attention to see or observe God in His words. 
Joshua 1:8 records about meditation: “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.”
Meditating is communicating with God to find God.  
Watch and pray will lead not into temptation for sin. Without sin, one will see God, and with sin, no one can see God.
God is near for all that give attention to see Him by identifying the work of His hand. Psalm 75:1 testifies, “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.” Keep it in mind, the work of God is His Word, and calling His name for His word, is the evidence that He is near.
Know it that in seeing God is found in the work of His word.
WAIT TO FIND GOD
It takes to wait on God to claim expectation for seeking from God.
The manifestation of expectation in God is the evidence of one that finds God. 
God is a good God that will wait to act for those who wait on Him.
The recording of waiting on God are the testimonies of finding God.
Isaiah 64:4 records, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
One that is waiting on God is with the testimony of one that finds God.
Wait on God, find God to experience His grace, mercy, and the blessings of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to find Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: What is your desire before God that see all things?

Psalm 27

What is your desire in life?
Desire means a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen.
In life, whatever a man desires to be is what man seeks after.
In life, what do you desire? 
One with desires to live heaven on earth will seek after the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Matthew 6:33 records, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” 
What do you desire?
It takes the desire that you have for living life for God that will make you seek God. 
Also, it is when one desires for God that will prompt God to deposit in you what it takes to seek Him diligently.
Having a desire for God demands active devotion to God, not a mouth desire.
Desire with devotion, and God will deposit strength to desire in you.
King David knows what is best to desire when he said, “One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple.” (Psalm 27:4)
What is your desire before God that see all things?
There are so many choices that can make or break you by what you desire. 
However, the things one desires will have a direct effect on the choices that one makes in life. Mark 8:34 encourages having a good desire saying, “When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up the cross, and follow Me.” 
Think right and answer to yourself: what is your desire in life?
Having a desire to seek God is not by forceful calling, but a calling of choice. 
Your desire for God must be in place for you to prompt God to deposit desire in you.
Have desire first, and will become deposited in your life. 
God created all with the freedom of choice because He is not a slave-master but a saving-master. 
He said, “Whoever desires.” Have you ever thought about the calling that you claim to have answered, or are you just going with the flow of the crowd?
Imagine desire for God: Can anyone possibly carry a cross in one hand and carry self on the other hand? It is impossible. 
Think about the desire for God.
Decide to repent and rededicate your life for Christ. 
God sees all, pretending as the desired one, for God should not walk-in line with the crowd with deception about desire. The time is at hand for Him to identify one. It will cost God nothing to expose one with no desire for Him.
In life, have the desire for God, and He will make it possible by enabling you to live life for His glory.
Your integrity counts most before God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you for your desire for Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: Faith with patience is a need for the life journey.

Romance 4

In the journey of life, it is having faith with patience that is complete, not to live a life of waste but to arrive at the plans of God.
The journey of life should be fueled by faith with patience as the key for the ignition to live right before God.
The Bible describes faith as: “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). 
Faith has a source.
The Bible emphasizes the source of faith: “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17).
Take to mind that the word of God which comes can also cease from coming when there is disengagement from hearing the word of God. 
The journey of life demands constant engagement to the word of God. 
In the journey of life, one that is having faith with patience will answer as the just ones. Habakkuk 2:4 buttresses, “…the just shall live by his faith.”
All that pertains to living life is living by the word of God (living by faith). 
The word identifies, we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7); we watch, stand by faith (1 Corinthians 16:13); faith purifies the heart (Acts 15:9); we are saved by faith through grace (Ephesians 2:8). 
Without a doubt, patience is crucial for anyone journeying through life to have faith in God.
About Patience: Patience is the ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay. 
Faith plus patience will be full of faith to be answering as faithful. 
Many have faith, but the majority are not faithful. 
As an acclaimed believer, do you have faith with patience to claim the blessings of God in the journey of life? 
Abraham is an example of one that engaged the journey of life, having faith with patience to obtain the promises of God.
The Bible records the promise of God for Abraham in his journey of life: “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.” (Genesis 17:1-4) 
Through the journey of life of Abraham, faith with patience enabled him not to doubt the promise of God to make him a father, despite his old age.
Romans 4:20-22 buttresses the journey of faith with the patience of Abraham:
“He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 
Are you still waiting despite your desire seems like it shall not manifest? Today, give yourself to the testimony of Abraham and know that faith with patience shall not fail. Bible records in James 1:4 “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”God shall not fail you if you have and know to hold on faith with patience.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you with faith and patience.

FAITH CAPSULE: Time of God demands waiting on Him.

Isaiah 40

Time belongs to God alone nit to any man.
Time belongs to God, but the clock belongs to man to turn forward or backward.
The appointed time of God is the fullness of His time.
Galatians 4:4 points out, “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman…”
God has made everything beautiful in its time, not by the clock of man. Ecclesiastes 3:11 records, “He has made everything beautiful in its time…”
Time belongs to God is the reason for you to trust and hope in Him at all times as Psalm 62:8 admonishes all, “Trust in Him at all times…” 
Are you counting on God to wait on His time, or man to for clock?
It does not matter how long you monitor your clock, but it matters not to make your move until it is the timing of God for you.
Mind you to know that God is God. 
God is not a slave master but a saving master. He alone is the perfect creator that knows time before time. God will not force you to focus on Him, but you focus on his face to reflect on you.
Time of God demands waiting on Him.
Waiting on God for His appointed time is encased in trust and hope in Him.
In a time of expectation from God, do not assume to move outside of the timing of God.
Waiting for the timing of God demands to be patient as Psalm 40:1 testifies: I waited patiently for the Lord, And He inclined to me and heard my cry.
James 5:7 encourages by adding persevering to the patient when waiting on the timing of God: Therefore, be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.
The timing of God does not delay or disappoint to fail for one that waits patiently on Him. 
In your waiting on the timing of God, do not compare but remain patient not to move outside of the timing of God.
Waiting on the timing of God and not move by comparing to others, give self to the admonition of Isaiah 40:31, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
In your waiting for the time of God, do not run where you are to walk, do not walk where you are to run.
Judging by your clock, does it seem that your destination experiencing a delay? Proverbs 14:12 warns against giving self to seems, there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
Keep the focus on the timing of God to discover that delay is not a denial to arrive at the destination.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you with the grace of the patient to be waiting on His time.

FAITH CAPSULE: One with no training will not live by the command of God.

Deuteronomy 32

In the journey of the Israelites to the Promised Land, Moses spoke, “Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word, you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess.” (Deuteronomy 32:46-47) 
Among the points in the message of Moses for the Israelites speaks to all are: 
1. Command your children to be careful to observe all the words of God (the law of God is the law of God).
A child with no training is not possible to submit to the command of God by living life to observe the words of God.
Are you training your child enough before God?
Does the training that you give to your child counts before God?
All belongs to God. Children belong to God while parents are with the assignment of God as a caretaker to train the children for God. 
Pages in the Bible, the word of God, request for the training of children.
Proverbs 22:6 records, “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Ephesians 6:4 also records, “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.”
One that does not train children enough is the same as one that does not train children at all.
God is watching and will not look away from not living life by His word.
Eli could not train his children enough not to violate God, not to corrupt, and not know God. (1 Samuel 2) 
The failure of Eli before God, for not to train his children enough records: For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because his sons made themselves vile, and he did not restrain them. (1 Samuel 3:13) Eli knows about the wrong but failed to control, restrict or delimit them, the evidence of his not enough to train his children.  
2. The word of God is not worthless but is worthy to give life to be able to arrive at the promise of God.
Deuteronomy 32:47 speaks it out, For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word, you shall prolong your days.
The word of God is a life wire, to be alive through the journey of life, not to live a life of waste.
One that receives training by the word of God shall not miss in the promise of God.
Be trained in the word of God to see as it sounds in your direction.
The word of God is not idle. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to live life by His word.
