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

Proverbs 14

To live for God is to excel for His glory.
One who does not live for God will live a life of waste.
With desire is the choice to live for God.
God is not a slave master but a saving master who will wait and act to enable a desired one who wants to live life for His glory.
Revelation 4:11 confirms all to live for the glory of God, “You are worthy, O Lord, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”
Are you living for God, or are you living life as pleases you?
One that lives for God fears God.
To fear God is to live by His word and not live a life of waste but waiting on God.
No one is born with the fear of God.
All matters are rooted in the command, the word of God, to know to fear God. 
Ecclesiastes 12:13 admonishes all, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.”
Having the determination to fear God cannot do it.
One with a desire to fear God prayerfully will live to fear God.
Is it your desire to live for the glory of God?
Have the desire and strive to fear God.
To fear God is a sacrifice not to live as it pleases you but to please God.
Let serving God with fear become your character.
Psalm 2:11 encourages, “Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling.”
To serve God is a sacrifice, denying self to find God.
Sacrifice is seeking God diligently, which enables one to find God.
Do you fear God?
Every living soul should live to fear God.
One that fears no other will fear God to gain the presence of God. 
The Psalmist testifies, “…I will fear no evil; For You are with me…” (Psalm 23:4)
It is impossible to become exposed to failing with one who possesses the fear of God alone.  
God treasures it when there is fear for Him. (Isaiah 33:6)
Much is to become identified as the character of ones that fear God:
Proverbs 8:13, “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.”
Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…”
Proverbs 10:27, “The fear of the Lord prolongs days, But the years of the wicked will be shortened.”
Proverbs 13:13, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”
The conclusion of the whole matter is to fear God as the way of life.
The word of God says to ask to become given.
Jeremiah records the promise of God to give, “I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them.” (Jeremiah 32:39)
With desire, pray to live by the fear of God.

Prayer for today: Ask to have one heart and one way to fear God.
