FAITH CAPSULES: Know God to fear Him.
Jeremiah 32: 26-44
To fear God by living life by His word is the evidence of knowing God.
Knowing about God cannot possibly fear God as knowing God.
Knowing about God can be conversant, quoting, or singing the word of God but not knowing God.
Knowing about God can be living in the gathering of believers, praying out loud before God but, the way of life does not line up with the word of God evidence of not fearing God.
The title, position of one inside or outside the church is not the evidence of knowing God, not with the character of the FEAR of God.
Abraham identifies what it means when the fear for God lacks, “Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me…” (Genesis 20:11)
Killing can be physically, spiritually, or emotionally.
The killing of others is continual in this wicked world.
Killing is rampant among friends, colleagues, and with no exception of the families.
The killing of others is evidence of no fear for God.
Abraham states the fear of God is not in this place.
In your place, your lot, is there the existence of the fear of God?
Do you have an inn, a place with the fear of God?
To live life by the fear of God is not by making noise to demonstrate as a believer with the title in the name of God.
Knowing the word of God and living by the word of God is the identity of one with boldness (knowing the word, not knowing about it) and character (living life by the word of God).
Boldness and character are the winning combinations for one with the FEAR of God.
Do you know God (not just know about), living life by His word the evidence of having the fear for God?
In life, with a desire, be one to be fearful of God.
Exodus 15:11 expresses the fear of God, “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?”
Isaiah 33:6 makes all know that God treasures when He is feared, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
Mark it, prayerfully, have the desire to live every moment of life with the FEAR of God that treasures the fear of Him.
With the fear of God, it cannot be possible to give a place to fear the world with wickedness.
God shall answer a prayer that asks to be enabled to fear Him.
Jeremiah 32:39-40 testifies to the promise of God to answer to give His fear, “then 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. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me.”
Prayer for today: Ask that God will give you one heart and one way to fear.
