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.
