Verbs of Victory: CAPTURE
“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!”
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!
The words of that hymn encapsulate the testimony of a grateful heart. It demonstrates a heart that has been captured by the goodness of a loving God. It is the expression of one who has been the recipient of God’s amazing Grace and goodness and one who is seizing the moment to exhale the love of God that has so captured his heart.
As God has also captured your hearts with His amazing Grace and love, declare that today is that kind of day. A day to consider the faithfulness of God and all He has been to you and all He has brought you through. It is a perfect day to seize the moment and to give thanks and praise to God for who He is.
Capture the moment. Do not let it pass you by. Seize the opportunity to give thanks and be grateful to God. Share the truth of His faithfulness to someone else today. Open your mouth and let them hear your acknowledgement of God’s kindness and tender mercies.
Many times, we do not lay hold of opportunities to be a living testimony for God to others or a testimony that shows forth the essence of who our God is. Do not let this moment pass you by today.
To capture is to seize, to take, to grasp, to handle or to lay hold of.
What an awesome opportunity and responsibility! Let the truth that has captured your heart, mind, attention and affections be evident in your life. As you seize the moment to be a thankful testimony today, also be vigilant to capture the many opportunities He will provide along the way so that you can step even higher and greater into your destiny. Do not waste time. Instead, today purpose in your heart to capture every opportunity to be a testimony and to walk in the path of greatness He has ordained for you.
Pay attention to the scripture in Luke 9:62: “Jesus said, ‘No procrastination. No backward looks. You can’t put God's kingdom off till tomorrow. Seize the day.’” Let that be your action today. Capture the moment, now.
Prayer: Father I thank You for the opportunities to capture every moment of this day. I thank You for the lessons this day will teach. I thank You for the ability to be a testimony in this day and I thank You for the opportunities to walk in Your ordained destiny. I waste no time but instead I capture each moment and delight in walking in Your way today, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
