Word of the Day
Beloved, let do not let fear be a part of your life. The only fear you should have is the fear of the Lord. This is a fear of worship, respect and is the beginning of all wisdom (Psalms 110:10). My eyes are upon those who fear Me…respect Me…those who desire Me with all their heart. This does not mean perfect…it means to know who I am and who you are…to know that without Me there is nothing…no success…no hope…no deliverance…no freedom…no tomorrow.
To fear Me is to worship Me because I am good and My love…My mercy and My kindness endure forever. When you fear Me you hope in My loving-kindness and you are not afraid to be held within My beholding gaze. Instead, you welcome it knowing there is only one way to freedom…one way to liberty…one way to walking according to the Spirit—Me.
There are so many benefits to the fear of the Lord. Want to know some of My benefits? If so, don’t let yourself think about how many times you have heard this before. Just listen with your Spirit and let Me plant some new seeds of life or water some old ones.
When you fear Me you have wisdom and understanding. Beloved, what do you need wisdom for this day? I am present to give you what you need. Ask and it will be given liberally but you must take the time to wait on Me…time to listen. Some things come instantly and some require patience and a willingness to spend time with Me.
In fact, some things do not come without time. After all, I am not a genie in a bottle. What I desire is relationship and the more you get to know Me the more you will know…the more wisdom you will have. I guess you could say, “Time equals wisdom and wisdom equals time.” Ask for wisdom today for the decisions you need to make and I will give it liberally.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. (Psalms 111:10 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, I refuse to fear or let fear have entrance and power over my life. The only fear I want to walk in is the reverential fear of You…to respect and honor You. Most of all I want to desire You above all. Help me to mature in this area and not be like the children of Israel in the wilderness and forget all the times You have delivered me.
I worship You in spirit and truth and declare goodness and mercy follow me as I bask in the wake of Your Presence. I proclaim the Lord is my liberty…my freedom and I will not be dismayed for He contends with those who contend with me. I stand on the field of battle clothed in the wisdom of the Lord and the power of His name. There is none like Him. My time with the Lord is bringing great benefit to my life and shines through me to release light to those around me. I receive the wisdom of the Lord. Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. Define the fear of the Lord in your own words and reflect on how your life is demonstrating itself in respect, honor and in an all consuming desire for the Lord.
2. What do you need wisdom for today? He is asking us to listen with our spirit and in the process He will plant new seeds and water old ones. With this in mind run to Him quickly and let Him press His life into your heart.
