FAITH CAPSULE: Get understanding to live life for the glory of God.
Psalm 8
It can be agreed that one that does not understand God cannot possibly know God. One that does not know God cannot seek God. The bible recorded, “Romans 3:11, “There is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God.” A man with understanding of what the Lord God has done for man and what God is doing for man is enough to seek God truly. However, lack of understanding reduces man from God. Psalm 49:20 stated, “A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, is like the beasts that perish.” God added honor to man but lack of understanding reduces man. Do you know the honor of God in your life? Psalm 8:4-5 stated, “What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor.” It is time to gain understand of God’s doing in the life of man and seek God truly. God sincerely loves Man while man is reducing self from the love of God by virtue of lack of understanding. Today, care to know what is about understanding.
