RESTORE
ONCE MORE OUR FEAR OF THE LORD
There
are very few of us who have the ability to change lives with the
writing of a few words in a sentence. The word of God however, is
rich in the ability to enrich and completely change our lives in just
a few words from the inspired mind of God. One of these sentences is
found in Deuteronomy
10:12-13. The people of
God throughout history have struggled with becoming overwhelmed by
life and its challenges.
In
the above mentioned scripture our wonderful heavenly Father records
for us a simple formula that not only describes God’s will for man
but gives us instruction on how to be successful in our spiritual
walk, guaranteed! The scripture says: “And
now Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear
the Lord…to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the
Lord…with all your heart and with all your soul and to keep the
commandments of the Lord…for your good..”
For
the next few weeks, we will examine each of these requirements. God
wants His creation to love and respect Him. As we continue to move
in the right direction we can be assured that God is pleased with us.
To FEAR THE LORD simply means we recognize who He is as the almighty
creator of all and this is positive and causes us to walk humbly in
life as did our Savior. Also, as we think about giving an account
for our lives before our God one day we are beneficially restrained
from our sinful tendencies. Want to please God this week? Fear Him,
walk humbly before Him and He will life you up.
