God is the same yesterday and forever. He has never changed and that is why He alone is the unchanging changer. <b><i>Deuteronomy 10:17<\/i><\/b> described God, <b><i>\u201cFor the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. God is not a partial God but He is persistent in His caring for those who care to wait on Him.\u201d<\/i><\/b> Indeed it is how much you know Him (not how much you know about Him) that will determine how you seek Him for His visitation in any area you are looking up to Him for answer to your question.<br \/>\nUnquestionably He alone is God that visits man because He is mindful of man. Have you stopped calling on Him when it seems your answer is being delayed? Jesus, in the Parable of the persistent widow encouraged us that that men always ought to pray and not lose heart. (Luke 18) To stop praying while you are yet to get answer is the evidence of a shutdown faith.<br \/>\nKeep on calling and asking, God alone sees all and hears all at the same time. If you will be persistent in looking up with hope answer shall come for you. God will not look away from you. He will touch you just as He touched the leper that went to Him in <b><i>Matthew 8:2-3, \u201cAnd behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, \u201cLord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.\u201d Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, \u201cI am willing; be cleansed.\u201d Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.\u201d<\/i><\/b> Look up to Him in your heart knowing fully well that there is no limitation as to how He works. In the same chapter, it is written that through touching, Peter\u2019s mother-in-law was free from the sickness of fever. <b><i>Matthew 8:14-15, \u201cNow when Jesus had come into Peter\u2019s house, He saw his wife\u2019s mother lying sick with a fever. So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.\u201d<\/i><\/b> The word of God encourages us to put Him in remembrance (Isaiah 43:26). Today, look up to Him and remind Him concerning the miracle that is encased in His touching and trust Him to touch you. God is still visiting and caring for His children. It is not enough to know about God but to know Him and be encouraged to engage Him for His healing touch. God is a faithful God to perform and perfect.<\/p>\n<p><b>Prayer for today:<\/b> <i>Ask God for His touch of healing, deliverance and preservation.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAITH CAPSULE: It is not enough to know about God but to know Him and be encouraged to engage Him.
