Faith Capsule: Truly, the fear of God is what makes man to be complete in God.

Jeremiah 32

To fear God is not just a word of mouth but living life in awe of Him. Many claims to fear God but it is worthy for individual to take a close look from the inside to the outside, to see if there is a sincere and genuine fear of God reigning and ruling one’s life. The word of God testified in Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” If the kind of wisdom one is operating is rooted in the fear of God, one is set for great exploit in life. Above all, one that truly fears God will live heaven on earth. Godly wisdom that is encased in the fear of God cannot be substituted neither can it be faked. It is the wisdom gained in the fear of God that reveals the knowledge of the Holy One.
Do you truly fear Him?
Proverbs 19:23 stated, “The fear of the LORD leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.” The fear of God will give life in the place of death. With the fear of God, abiding in dissatisfaction is not a possibility. With the fear of God, satisfaction in every area of life will be evident in the life of one that fears God. The fear of God is what places man out of the reach of the evil one. The fear of God in the life of many giants in the hand of God is what made their testimonies unique ones.
God testified that it was His fear that made Abraham and it was confirmed in his obedience to God’s request for Isaac to be sacrificed. At the time of sacrificing Isaac, Abraham was commanded, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” (Genesis 22:12)
The fear of God is what will make the difference in the life of every man that passes through the face of earth. Do you truly fear God or do you think you fear God? To know God is to fear Him. Ecclesiastes12: 13-14 stated, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.”  God deserves to be feared. He alone is the Creator, the Almighty God. Do you fear Him? Ones that does not fear God despises His word and disregard His command. It is the fear of God in the heart of man that makes man not to depart from God. Truly, the fear of God is what makes man to be complete in God.
