S - Scripture
Proverbs 1 v. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Respect.
God is not asking us to be afraid of him. He wants us to have our ultimate
respect of him. Not only is he wise, but he is sovereign. He controls everything. Once you realize that your not
in control, you can lean on him for all your
problems. We also must respect
that God will judge us. Matthew 10 v. 28; "and do not fear those who
kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather FEAR HIM who can destroy both
body and soul in hell." Remember, only one person will be making that
decision. It is the Lord. So what is our
response? To do his will, to follow his wisdom and instruction. That shows respect.
A - Application
Am I studying your word and doing it? Or am I resisting?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Keep me from being foolish. Give me a healthy fear of you. Love Will.
