FAITH CAPSULE: Let your concentration be for God.
Matthew 6
One with concentration on God gives regard to God.
Give regard to God as a way of life.
Are you giving regard to God?
Psalm 28:5 warns, “Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them and not build them up.”
One with understanding will know giving regard to God as a way of life.
Do not disregard God, the God whom all supposedly live for.
Isaiah 5:12 records, “…But they do not regard the work of the LORD, nor consider the operation of His hands.”
Does the word speak to you?
One who disregards the word of God does not regard God and will rebel against God consciously or unconsciously because of a lack of understanding, evidence of not knowing God.
One that does not give regard to God is as one that is laden (loaded, burdened) with iniquity (sin, evildoers).
One that disregards God has forsaken God, to provoke God and such become backward. Avoid backwardness so it is not to be your portion.
Your confession matters for your deliverance.
With understanding, give regard to God, knowing and confessing positively.
Understanding is the ability to listen carefully and be in charge of what comes out of the mouth.
Truly understanding is a wellspring of life to one who has it.
(Proverbs 16:22)
Are you considering the importance of listening ability and not live as a potential fool?
Bible warns, “A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.” (Proverbs 18:7)
Evidently, by the word of God, the mouth can indeed lead to destruction, but understanding can lead the mouth not to experience destruction.
Gain understanding not to be a fool!
DO NOT DISREGARD GOD
Isaiah 5:12 warns, “…But they do not regard the work of the LORD, nor consider the operation of His hands.”
Does the word speak to you?
One who disregards the word of God does not regard God and will rebel against God consciously or unconsciously, which is evidence of not knowing God and not considering God.
One that does not give regard to God is as one that is laden (loaded, burdened) with iniquity (sin, evildoers). One that disregards God has forsaken God, to provoke God and such become backward.
Avoid backwardness to be your portion.
With understanding, know to gather together before God.
Are you gathering but not together?
Matthew 18:19-20 records the word of Jesus, “…For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Believers gather by the mouth but are far from each other in the heart.
Not together in the heart but calling together in the name of God is deceiving the world as if they are together.
Many husbands, wives, and children live together, but they are not together.
Does the word speak with truth in your ear?
Unfailingly, failure answers to not gathering together.
The power of agreement is in coming together for the glory of God, not for self-glorification. Give regard to the word of God!
Prayer for today: Ask that God enable you to live by His word.
