“Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it shall be your wisdom.”
Job 13:5
One of the most vivid images portrayed in the bible, is when Moses came down from Mt. Sinai after communing tirelessly with God only to be faced with the horror of the children of Israel dancing naked around a god. Let’s recall that God did not only tell Moses the Word at the top of the mountain, HE wrote it down and literally GAVE MOSES THE WORD!
But what did Moses do when his anger was aroused?
Moses literally tossed GOD’S OWN WRITTEN WORD that were in his hands, and broke them to pieces out of agitation!
Moses literally threw the word away!
Granted, his anger was aroused toward the despicable act that was before him, but is that enough to throw away the word of God?.
If Moses, whom God honored enough to show HIMSELF to, fell short of wisdom in a moment of great fury and threw God’s word away, what are the chances you won’t or haven’t already thrown away God’s word out of your misunderstanding or displeasure of what is in front of you?
Friend, it takes great wisdom, faith, courage, humility, and patience to walk this walk with God.
I am sure there are strong circumstances arousing your discomfort, agitation, and even vulnerability. But I urge you to hold on to your word. Let no man, sin, or circumstance cause you to misplace God’s word to you. It is yours for a reason.
And although the season may still be ahead where your word will come to fruition, just remember that God is not man that HE should lie. If He gave you a word, it is already so in the realm of glory and it soon shall manifest in the realm you can touch as well. But You’ve got to hold on to your word like your life depended on it, because it does!
God did not make a mistake when HE revealed something only to you. He is God! And HE does not need your help or anyone else’s to be GOD!
Don’t you know that your purpose is tied to your word from God? Don’t you know that the significance of your word is in the secret place that is between you and God alone? So, why must the rest of the world share too soon in a glory that God has purposely placed with you? Is it not up to Him what He favors and how He favors? HE favored you enough to give you a word, hold on to it!
Remember that no word, not one single word out of the mouth of the living God, shall return to Him void. HIS will be done in Jesus name.
May the Lord forgive us for our carelessness, recklessness, and abandonment of His word to us. I pray that we are blessed with a new realm of wisdom from God to protect and honor the knowledge of the word that we have received. And may we sow great blessings from the seeds of wisdom as we hold on tighter to our word in Jesus name. Amen
