How is your fear of the Lord today? Do you have total reverence for the Lord your God? Are you in awe of His greatness, power and glory as well as His wrath and anger? If your answer is yes….I’ve got some great news for you!!
You will have wisdom, knowledge, life, confidence and you will lack nothing. I’m not making this up! Psalms 34:9 Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing.
When I read the word this morning and meditated on this scripture…I was like…wow! I had to reread it a few times and let it get into my spirit. This is a verse you need to hide in your heart and reflect on when you are stressed about anything in your life.
Fear of the Lord is that you think God is the greatest and the most powerful being in the entire universe. Fear of the Lord means that you believe that God is so holy that He cannot stand or look upon anything unjust or sinful. Your fear of God has you in total awe and reverence for His majesty and glory. Because of your fear of the Lord you respect His total authority over your life.
“When you fear God….you give God the OK to take charge over everything in your life and you trust Him to make wise decisions for you”
Fear has a negative connotation in this world we live in…but in God’s kingdom…it is a powerful word that has our blessings attached to it. Let’s embrace this word fear and put it in its proper place in our spiritual life and receive our full provisions for our lives from the Lord.
Proverbs 14:26 He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge.
Message for today: Fear the Lord and be blessed.

Hi Tanya, a wonderful message and we do indeed need to understand about fear, the word fear in the Scriptures means both respect and fleshy fear depending on the context it is used in, if we Love God with all our heart, meaning our all, we respect Him ,we don’t have fleshy fear towards Him , this comes with sin.
The Scriptures tell us when we Born again of God’s seed and sealed by The Holy Spirit we call Him Abba Father meaning Daddy, this is not based on fleshy fear, we can also know the things of God 1 Corinthins 2 :9-16 because we have the mind of Christ empowered by The Holy Spirit.
But it really encouraged me when you shared…. Your fear of God has you in total awe and reverence for His majesty and glory…. How very True this is and although God never takes away our free will meaning choice, like Jesus we say not my will but yours be done.
Christian Love and many Blessings from both of us – Anne
