FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Know God to please Him in the journey of life.<\/p>\n

Psalm 5<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Knowing God indeed is the way to be built up more in faith. However, with knowing about God faith will be impossible and without faith it is impossible to please God. Man is to know God; man is to have faith and live life by pleasing God. Unpleasing God is the evidence of lack of faith. Hebrews 11:6<\/em><\/strong> said it clear, \u201cBut without faith it is impossible to please Him\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Unpleasing God is to be avoided so as to retain His presence in the journey of life. A man that truly knows God and pleases God is not a wicked man. David identified a way of unpleasing God when he stated, \u201cFor You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You.\u201d (Psalm 5:4)<\/em><\/strong> Evidently, wickedness is unpleasing to God; it is evil and does not retain presence of God.
\nPsalm 5<\/em><\/strong> of David, a man after God\u2019s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14)<\/em><\/strong> pointed out what wickedness is about:
\nThe boastful is wicked and shall not stand before God (The boastful shall not stand in Your sight Psalm 5:5<\/em><\/strong>) Ones with iniquity is wicked (You hate all workers of iniquity Psalm 5:5<\/em><\/strong>) Falsehood (untruth) speakers are wicked ones that turns glory of God to shame (Psalm 4:2)<\/em><\/strong>; (You shall destroy those who speak falsehood Psalm 5:6)<\/em><\/strong> Bloodthirsty and deceitful are wicked before God. God abhors (hates, dislike) both. (Psalm 5:6)
\nPsalm 5:9<\/em><\/strong> revealed about wicked body part are the agent for wickedness before God.
\nWicked ones do not have faithfulness in their mouth; wicked ones inward part is destruction; wicked ones throat is an open tomb; wicked tongue flatters; wicked ones, with all their transgressions, they have rebelled against God.
\nIs there any trace of wickedness in your life?
\nJeremiah 12:1-2<\/em><\/strong> also pointed out clearly who the wicked ones: \u201cRighteous are You, O <\/em><\/strong>Lord<\/em><\/strong>, when I plead with You;<\/em><\/strong> yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth but far from their mind.\u201d Know about God in the mouth marks man out to be a wicked one. Knowing God is near to God in deep in the heart and not far from God.
\n<\/em><\/strong>Do you know God?
\nStrive to come out of religion into Christ reality to know God. To be spotless and not wrinkle is God\u2019s desire for man. God wants man to be holy and without blemish. Today, take to the word of James 1:21<\/em><\/strong> as stated, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Wickedness is filthy (dirty) and can be in excess. Be spot less, avoid wickedness, allow allowing WORD be implanted (rooted) in you.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God for grace to live life pleasing God.<\/em><\/p>\n
