FAITH CAPSULE: Let one who sees know to receive.
Joshua 6
In the Word of God, there is the direction that never fails.
For example, Joshua needed to behold (see) the word of God to gain boldness and character to win over Jericho.
Jericho posed as an enemy to deny the Israelites access to the Promised Land. Joshua 6:1-2 records the calling of Joshua to see (to behold) in the Word of God, “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.”
Let it be a way of life, seeing in the word of God, not to become a victim of lack.
Joshua was moved by what he saw in the Word of God with direction against the enemy (the challenge of the Jericho wall).
The Bible records the action of the word, “The wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. And they utterly destroyed all.” (Joshua 6:20-21)
Joshua listened, and he saw that Jercho fell.
Jacob was running away from his brother (Esau), and he needed boldness and character to succeed in his journey.
God responded to the need of Jacob when He commanded him to behold (see) in His word, stating, “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” (Genesis 28:15)
Always listen to see (behold) in the word of God, to obtain the boldness and character, having trust and hope in God.
To behold (see) in the Word of God, one shall replace fear with faith that is rooted in boldness and character gained in the Word of God.
In your way of life, engage the Word of God by listening with understanding, and know that it gives life to the just ones. Habakkuk 2:4 buttresses, “…the just shall live by his faith.” By the word of God, live life as one with boldness and character.
God magnifies His word above His name. (Psalm 138:2)
The Word of God is worthy to deliver; His word is mighty and will preserve one that beholds the word of God.
Listen to the Word of God that carries healing and deliverance.
Psalm 107:20 buttresses, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
Do you listen to God?
Listen to see in the word of God, and gain boldness and character that make one a winner for the glory of God.
God is power.
God delivered the Israelites and is still in the business of deliverance and preservation.
Hear to see to claim what is spoken to one, in the word of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to always see in His word.
