How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for
those who fear you – Psalm 31:19.
Fear of the Lord is the main key for the
Godly wisdom and long life. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom –
Proverbs 9:10. We need wisdom in this world to lead a successful life. The fear
of the Lord prolongs days, But the years of the wicked will be shortened -
Proverbs 10:27. God has stored up abundant good things for all those who fear
Him. Let us fear God by hating evil. To fear of the Lord is to hate evil –
Proverbs 8:13.
When we fear the Lord, we are blessed and our
descendants will be mighty on earth (Psalm 112:1). All our household will be
blessed (Psalm 128). God also provides divine protection for God fearing people. Whoever
fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a
refuge – Proverbs 14:26. When we have the fear of the Lord, we can enjoy riches,
honor and life. Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth, honor and life –
Proverbs 22:4.
As Joseph feared God, he was able to hold on
his character and integrity. God gave him success in whatever he did. And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God
require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to
love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
- Deuteronomy 10:12. Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, Than great
treasure with trouble - Proverbs 15:16.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to serve You with
a reverential fear. With the fear of God in us, let us lead a blessed life. In
Jesus name we pray. Amen.
