FAITH CAPSULE: No man is born with having fear of God but learn by hearing to fear God.

Deuteronomy 6

To be fearful of God is to be sin-less before God. Exodus 20:20 buttressed, “…His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin.” No man was born with the fear of God. Knowing to fear God is learning by hearing God’s word. God spoke to Moses, “…Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.” (Deuteronomy 4:10) One that learn to fear God will know to seek Him as stated in Deuteronomy 6:13, “You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him and shall take oaths in His name.”
Sincerely, do you fear God? Today, many claims to be a Christian but far from walking as CHRIST-LIKE. Many claims having faith but majority are not FAITH-FULL. God deserves to be feared. God pays attention to recognize those who fear Him indeed. Man, that is occupied by the things of this world is empty of the word of God and not full of God’s fear. Man, that is not mindful of God is not possible to be living life in the fear of God.
Man, that is fearful of God shall be identified by God. With fear of God, Abraham obediently answered to God’s word of command. God could not overlook Abraham’s obedience but pointed out His fear in Abraham as stated, “And He said, “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)
Wickedness has been on earth and was not hidden from God. Genesis 6:5 stated, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Wickedness has been and it remains as the center of evil doing due to lack of fear of God. Foolishness in the heart of man is blinding man from learning and knowing that God see all wickedness and God pays attention to the fearful ones. It is the fear of God that set Job before God. Bible recorded “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.” (Job 1:1) Is it your identity to be shunning evil? Learn to fear God by hearing and hearing by His word. To fear God is seeking God with a loyal heart. Always, the eyes of God will be spotting those who fear Him as 2Chronicles 16:9 recorded, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore, from now on you shall have wars.”  God is watching over all, fear God to seek God diligently.

Prayer for today: Ask for the fear of God that will keep you not to depart from Him.
