For example, Joshua needed to behold (see) the word of God to gain boldness and character for winning over Jericho. Jericho posed as an enemy\u2019s attempt to stop Israelites advance to the Promised Land. Word in <strong><em>Joshua 6:1-2<\/em><\/strong> called Joshua to see (to behold) as stated, <strong><em>\u201cNow Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. <sup>\u00a0<\/sup>And the Lord said to Joshua: \u201cSee! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Joshua listened; he was able to behold (see) direction in the word of God as he gained character and boldness to become winner over Jericho. In all listening to the words of God, God wants man to behold in His word of direction to gain boldness and character.<br \/>\nAre you seeking for direction by listening to God\u2019s word to gain boldness and character in the face of challenges? Jacob was in the course of running away from his brother but he needed boldness and charter to continue successfully in his journey. God responded to Jacob\u2019s need when He commanded him to behold (see) in His word stating, <strong><em>\u201cBehold, 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.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><strong><em> (Genesis 28:15)<\/em><\/strong> With God\u2019s word which man is able to listen and behold, man shall have character to trust God; man shall become boldness to hope in God regardless of any challenge. To behold (see) in God\u2019s word of God, man shall replace fear with faith that is rooted in boldness and character.<br \/>\nGod\u2019s word is God and that is why He magnified His word above all His name. (Psalm 138:2) God\u2019s word is worthy and true to deliver; God\u2019s word is mighty and true to preserve only if man is able to behold God in the word of God.<br \/>\nDo you listen to God in the word of God to behold and gain boldness and character that makes man a winner for the glory of God?<br \/>\nGod is power; God that delivered Israelites is still in the business of deliverance and preservation if man only continues to behold God in His word.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer for today:<\/strong> <em>Ask God for the grace to be listening to behold (see) God in the word of God.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAITH CAPSULE: God\u2019s word is God and that is why He magnified His word above all His name.
