My precious child of God, I greet you in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Today, we are going to meditate on a beautiful verse from Psalm 128:1: “Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in obedience to Him.” This verse highlights two key points: First, we should have the fear of the Lord. Second, we must walk in the ways of the Lord. To fulfill God's will and to have a close communion with Him, it is crucial to have the fear of God.
Proverbs 31:30 tells us that we should have the fear of God, and then the Lord's praises will come upon us. This has been true in my own life. There was a time when I did not understand these deeper spiritual truths. However, one day the Lord spoke to me through His word and through His servant. When I read Proverbs 31:30, it became clear that having the fear of God would transform my life completely. “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised” (Proverbs 31:30).With the fear of God, everything we do will be pleasing to Him.
How do we know and cultivate the fear of God? Psalm 32:8 says that God will teach us His ways and instill in us the fear of Him. When we wait at His feet, He will instruct us. Isaiah 30:21 also speaks to this. It says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”” When we have the fear of God, our lives will be blessed by the Lord. Jeremiah 17:7 states, "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord." Similarly, Proverbs 28:25 conveys the same message for it says, “Those who trust in the LORD will prosper.” My friend, what about you? Do you have the fear of God? Do you follow the ways of the Lord? If you do, your family life will be blessed, your life will be blessed, and you will receive all of God's abundant blessings.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, I come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for Your guidance and love. I ask that You help me to truly understand and embrace the fear of the Lord in my heart. Teach me to walk in obedience to Your ways, that I may live a life pleasing to You. Lord, as Your word says, bless me as I seek to fear You and follow Your paths. Transform my life according to Your will, and let everything I do reflect Your glory. Instill in me a deep reverence for You so that Your praises may flow through me. Guide me, Lord, teaching me Your ways and helping me to trust in You completely. May my life and my loved ones lives be abundantly blessed as we walk in Your fear and trust in Your name. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
