FAITH CAPSULE: Live life to find God.
Exodus 19
Not to find God is the character of a wasted life.
To live life outside of the word of God is to live a wasted life.
Live life for God, the creator of all.
How are you living?
What or who are you living for?
God, the creator, the unfiling God, the only God that has mercy in His hand, creates all to exist for His name.
Revelation 4:11 testifies, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.”
Mercy belongs to none but the perfect God who creates all for His glory.
No one belongs to themselves but belongs to God.
Live life, strive to live for God, not to miss the hand of God in life.
To find God is to strive.
To strive is to seek God diligently.
One who seeks God is going to find God.
John 12:26 identifies serving God:“If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.”
If seeking God is not possible, the word of God will ask for seeking Him.
God is true to seek Him, follow Him diligently, and find Him.
David is an example that followed God with his heart, and the Bible records, “…My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes.” (1 Kings 14:8)
Are you with the desire to seek God diligently, following His righteousness by His word?
Deuteronony 4:29 identifies with seeking God diligently, not to settle for seeking God in a standard that will not find Him.
It states, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
One will find God with the condition that is: seeking Him diligently with all heart and soul.
Obedience to the word of God will walk the way of righteousness.
Obeying the word of God is also a way of seeking diligently to keep oneself in God as a treasure to God. Exodus 19:5 confirms,“Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.”
With faith, it is possible to obey the word of God and diligently seek to please God.(Hebrews 11:6)
Among the ways of seeking God are:
To come out of the wickedness to find God.
One who lives right is not wicked to seek and find God.
The wicked one does not live by the word of God to find God.
In all your ways, follow God to be standing in His word.
Seek God diligently to please Him and be rewarded to see Him.
Prayer for today: Ask for the strength to seek God diligently.
