Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.”
Fearing GOD with Praise!
The level which one fears the LORD
will translate into how much
conviction they feel.
The amount of their honesty,
bound up with Truth, will propel
them as fake or as real.
Irreverent servants found clothed
within falsehoods,
or penitent souls whose hearts
bow before GOD;
so there is a crossroads which
separates both! Thus one bends in
error…but two straightly walks!
Since GOD’s seven spirits promote
humbled fear, then surrender your all
without Pride…and draw near!
As HIServant convicted and compelled to walk in the fear of the LORD with all reverence and devotion,
Whitney
Devotional: Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Fear GOD and keep HIS commandments”.
Romans 8:1 “There is therefore no condemnation to those in YESHUA The MESSIAH who do not walk in the flesh.”
“In” is the operative word. Do we walk IN HIS footprints, even sacrificially with humility, or…
do we exercise IN the paths of the flesh, regularly claiming grace for our errant walk?
There’s lots of opinions on the definition and where the lines are.
But it all boils down to one’s daily level of relationship with the LORD.
Is there a deep, reverent fear of GOD or not?
Remember!
Complacency is a horrid sin that often gets dismissed.
It is a glaring indicator of a walk that ISN’T close to YAHWEH.
Then consider the seven Spirits of GOD which refer to the sevenfold ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT as described in the Bible, particularly in Isaiah 11:2.
They include the Spirit of the LORD, Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might, Knowledge, and… the Fear of the LORD.”
So the fear of GOD refers to reverence and awe rather than terror,
emphasizing wisdom, obedience, and a humbly devoted relationship with HIM!
But without a deep and active fear of GOD, no one draws closer to HIM, much less through trials.
But that’s exactly why GOD permits them!
Out of love for us, to draw us closer through hardship.
Do we trust HIM with every step?
To straightly walk with the LORD requires such humbled devotion and daily commitment.
So let us embrace HIS training with commitment and fear which honors HIM wholly!
Praise the LORD!
Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom”.
Amen and amen.
