Fear of the Lord. Here we are with this phrase again. It is funny though, when I look back at my life and study the types of decisions I made before I had a true understanding of the fear of the Lord, I am amazed at the very real difference. When I truly began to respect God- that was absolutely when I began to make consistent choices for myself based on wisdom. Before this time, I can see how more important than wise choices, were comfortable choices. Many times not just comfortable choices, but selfish choices. It is incredible to me how the more I am focused on God and less focused on myself, I am also more focused on others. When I am able to switch my thinking to what's in this for God instead of what's in this for me I find that I feel more joyful in my giving.
When my knowledge of the Holy One becomes more complete my understanding of what my days and years look like also become more complete. I'm not wondering what I may or may not be doing. I know that I will always be by His side. That these days and years here on this earth are just not it. Days and years have been added to me by my knowledge of Him. By my belief, by my acceptance of Him I have had an eternity added to my days and my life.
What a gift.
