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.
