Bible Verse of The Day – 7-11-17

Genesis 6:13 (NKJV) 13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

It’s interesting that certain people, such as scientists, kings, political leaders, people with power, etc. think that they are untouchable and can do whatever they want.

They don’t realize how powerful God is and that the power they think they have, they don’t have at all. They only have what God allows them to have.

We also do not have the power or control we think we have.

Do we understand that in a split second all that we have worked for, our money, home, business, ministry, family, etc., could be gone? That’s right, just like that.

What causes us to think that we are in CONTROL and have power over our own lives?

It’s a false sense of security, and it stems from pride. And pride is not from God.

Proverbs 1:7 (NKJV) 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Just a little reminder today about Who is really in control and that our fear should not be of man or of losing what we have built up in treasures. Instead, we should have a reverent fear of our Lord, His might and His power and all that He is.

If we want to put our efforts into building anything worth keeping, build it in knowing Him and following His commandments. He is our strong tower.

Proverbs 18:10 (NKJV) 10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-14-15

Proverbs 1:7 (NKJV) 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

In all of our seeking, chasing and pursuing, there is one thing that needs to come first.

The fear of the Lord.

We can seek to understand as much as possible about God and who He is.

We can obtain college degrees in so many different areas of expertise.

We can become a leader in our community, our state, province or city.

We can have hundreds of friends (if that’s even possible).

But if we don’t fear God, everything else is in vain.

A reverent fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom. If we revere Him and fear Him, we will put everything else in its proper place and perspective.

If we fear Him, it will help keep us from falling into things that are contrary to His word.

If we fear Him and put Him first, so many other things in our lives will fall into place.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-31-15

Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) 10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Fear. It’s a word that doesn’t get used too much these days, especially when it comes to God. It’s almost become politically incorrect to do such a thing.

But God isn’t concerned with political correctness. And neither are we. We need to speak God’s word, regardless of what’s popular.

You see, the fear of God is healthy. The word says that fearing God is the beginning of wisdom.

The fear of God will lead us to consider our choices and make them wisely. The fear of God will cause us to stop and think about what we do before we do it. And it’s not so much that we fear that God will smite us or strike us down if we do something wrong.

It’s more of a fact that we want to make choices that please Him. And when we do that, we won’t end up getting ourselves into big messes time after time.

In reality, there are two kinds of fear. The fear of man and the fear of God. If we fear man, we will be driven by choices that please the people around us, which will ultimately disappoint God.

On the other hand, if we fear God, instead of fearing man, we won’t worry about what people think of us and the choices we make will be sound, pleasing God and leading us down the path He has set before us.

So today is the day we need to choose. Who will we fear?

God, or Man?

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-21-14

Proverbs 1:7 (NKJV) 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

As I was praying this morning, I heard God speak to me on the issue of fear. He said to me that if I would learn to fear Him more than anything else in this world, then I would do whatever He wants me do and in the way He wants it done, without hesitation, distractions and hindrances.

Fearing other things more than God will keep us at a standstill in our life or in our walk with Him. It can put a stumbling block between us and Him. It can turn the direction of our path away from Him, instead of toward Him.

God is with us always. He never leaves us.

So why are we afraid of everything, but Him? Why does He feel our trembling, at times, over things that He has already overcome?

If we need strength today, we need to draw from His strength.

Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV) 6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

A lot of times when we feel confident, it’s usually because we’ve been there and done it before. But that confidence in only ourselves and what we know to work, is limiting us.

Don’t be afraid of the situation you are in or the direction God is steering you into, just because it is not familiar to you. Be fearful only of Him.

The more we fear Him, the more doors will open up to us, the greater things we will see, the more exciting and fulfilling our life will become because God will reveal Himself to us.

Fearing God is the beginning of knowledge.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-27-14

Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Fear. Most times when we think of this word, it isn’t related to anything good.

But there is actually a healthy kind of fear that we all learn to have when it comes to certain things in life.

We can fear burning our hand in a flame. We can fear shutting our fingers in a door. We can fear cutting ourselves with a sharp object. These are all healthy fears because they keep us from hurting ourselves.

The fear of God, though, is the healthiest kind of fear. If we are a child of God, we need to fear Him in a reverent way.. a way that shows reverence for Him because of who He is. We don’t walk around being afraid of Him, but we know that He is all-powerful.

If someone doesn’t know God, they should fear the consequences of being judged by Him. I recall seeing a short clip of someone on TV the other day, a popular celebrity here in the USA, who was mocking God in a way that truly made me nauseous. I actually feared for this man’s life and his soul because of the things he was saying. I could only take hearing it for a few seconds before I just had to turn it off.

This man needs to fear God in a way that causes him to cry out to God and beg Him for mercy.

God says in His word that the fear of Him is the beginning of wisdom. We should all pray for this kind of wisdom and ask God to teach us to fear Him in a way that’s pleasing to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-20-13

(Luke 7:14-16 NKJV)  Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” {15} So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother. {16} Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen up among us”; and, “God has visited His people.”

“Then fear came upon all”.

How many of us fear God? I’m not talking about the kind of fear that you have when you’re scared of someone hurting you. I’m referring to a healthy fear… the kind of fear that you have out of respect for someone.

Jesus was the perfect example of God’s amazing, unconditional love. But yet He caused the fear of God to fall on people when they saw his miracles.

Sadly, too few people fear God today. The reverent fear that we should have has been replaced with sugar-coated messages that try hard not to offend people or hurt their feelings.

God is love. But He is also pure and holy and worthy of our reverent fear. Without reverence and fear, we are taking God for less than who He really is.

We need to love God with our whole hearts. And when we do that, we will be gin to understand that we also need to fear God in a healthy, reverent way.

Bible verse of The Day – 1-1-13

(Ecclesiastes 3:14 NKJV)  I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him.

Things come and go in our lives. Jobs, family, friends, etc., there is always going to be change. But one thing we can rest assured in is God and His Mightiness! He is watching over us, keeping us, caring for us and helping us even when we don’t know it.

He is Omnipresent – present in all places at all times. God is everywhere and He knows everything that is taking place at all times. That is huge to know. We don’t need to fear our situation or the people that try to intimidate us. We need to fear God in His Awesome greatness. He is powerful and loving, all in ONE!

This kind of fear will bring us into a closer relationship with God. It gives us accountability, causing us to want to do things the way God wants it done, knowing that His love and direction for us is to bring us into a life of victory!!

Knowing how Awesome God is should not cause us to run away from Him, but to Him.

Run into His arms and have a Happy New Year!!
