The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 16:6 (HCSB)
Wickedness is atoned for by loyalty and faithfulness, and one turns from evil by the fear of the Lord.
Proverbs 3:7 (HCSB)
Don't consider yourself to be wise; fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 112:1 (HCSB)
Hallelujah! Happy is the man who fears the Lord, taking great delight in His commands.
Psalm 112:7-8 (HCSB)
7 He will not fear bad news; his heart is confident, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is assured; he will not fear. In the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Job 28:28 (HCSB)
He said to mankind, "The fear of the Lord is this: wisdom. And to turn from evil is understanding."
My observation:
The choice word for today is "Fear". There are so many things that people fear. The sad thing is that most of these fears are unnecessary because the things feared never happen.
Today's selected passages offers a perfect solution to our fears. The person who fears God has nothing else to fear.
Yes, that is what the scripture says. To fear the Lord is a good thing. To fear anyone else or anything else is a bad thing.
Happy is the person that fears the Lord (Psalm 112:1). The fear of the Lord will conquer all of our other fears (Psalm 112:7-8). The psalmist feared the Lord, and was able to say, "His heart is assured; he will not fear".
My prayer:
Father God, Sovereign Lord, Abba, Father, I praise and thank you that you are an all powerful God and that you are an all wise God. Father, I thank you that nothing is too difficult for you because of your almighty power. Father, I praise you because you always do what is best for your children because of your unfathomable wisdom. Father, I pray for faith to fear you more.
