The Fears of the Lord is the Beginning of Understanding Things Right
JPS Tanakh 1917: Psalms 139:14
"I will give thanks unto Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."
Berean Study Bible: Proverbs 16:6
"By loving devotion and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns aside from evil. "
Douay-Rheims Bible: Eccelessiates 8:11
"For because sentence is not speedily pronounced against the evil, the children of men commit evils without any fear."
My friends,
Becoming the unknowing before the AllKnowing is vital to living right before our Maker. Yes, we make mistakes because truly we do not know the right things, because we cannot see it all.
But, I know One Who does, and He loves us with an eternal love. We can trust Him to respond out of love everytime, because He is truly the love that comes and goes from our hearts.
Since, He is the love in our hearts, when we stand before Him, we will have to give account of how we handled Him.
Did we charish and adore Him all of the time, as He does us? Did we handle Him gently and carefully as He does us? or Did we oppose or pervert Him? Did we abuse or persecute Him?
One day we will face Him, and by taking the time to make sure our position on that day through our repentance, we live our best humbly unto His love and pray:
What is this, oh Lord, how shall I understand this, and what shall I do?
And when He answers, we will understand everything we need to understand, and that will all boil down to that He is forever Faithful and our response unto His faithfulness is truly what we shall be judge concerning: how do we treat love?
