FAITH CAPSULE: No one is born with the fear of God.

Psalm 34

The book of Ecclesiastes concluded, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandment, for this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) 
Nothing is better than having the fear of God reign in the life of one.
The Psalmist pointed out, “The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him and delivers them.” (Psalm 34:7) 
In this world of wickedness, nothing is better than having the untouchable force of protection around those who fear God. 
Psalm 34:9 also states, “Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.”  
Indeed, God is good, and His Word does not fail. 
Do you have the kind of fear possessed as the one who fears and is living in heaven on earth? 
No one is born with the fear of God. 
To fear God comes when there is understanding, knowledge, and wisdom of God. 
Proverbs 15:33 buttress, “The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom.”  
Deuteronomy 31:12-13 records, “Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and the stranger who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the LORD your God and carefully observe all the words of this law, and that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to possess.”  
Living to fear God is not limited to a group but all people. 
Also, it is not limited to a time in the history of creation. 
As an acclaimed believer in the Word of God, do you have to introduce yourself as one who fears God, or does your approach to living life always introduce you as one who fears God? 
To fear God is a characteristic that can not be hidden but evidence.
Do you desire the fear of God to take over your life? 
All should be studying and gaining more understanding of the Lord God from the words of His mouth. 
No one is born with the fear of God.
To fear God is not of determination, but with desire, one will grow to fear God.
Desire to fear God and He will deposit His fear in you. 
God is faithful to deliver what He promises in one with a desire to fear God.
With desire, all should be encouraged to fear God.
Psalm 56:4 states, “In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?” 
Live to fear God!                          

Prayer for today: Ask for the fear of the Lord God to reign and overwhelm your life.
