(CS4U) The Fear of the Lord

 

TheFear of the Lord   "Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil." Proverbs 15:16   respect of You and to honor You in all I do. Amen

Do you possess a healthy, fearful respect for God's power? The words in Proverbs 1:7 are clear: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline". Yet, we live in a world that often ignores the role that God plays in shaping the affairs of mankind. We live in a world where too many people consider it "unfashionable" or "inappropriate" to discuss the fear of God.

To fear God is to acknowledge His sovereignty over every aspect of His creation (including you). To fear God is to place your relationship with God in its proper perspective (He is your master; you are His servant). To fear God is to dread the very thought of disobeying him. To fear God is to humble yourself in the presence of His infinite power and His infinite love.

The fear of the Lord is, indeed, the beginning of knowledge. So today, as you face the realities of everyday life, remember this: until you acquire a healthy, respectful fear of God's power, your education is incomplete, and so is your faith.

 

Prayer
