Be Wise

Psalm 111:10 says: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belong eternal praise.

When we consistently seek God and are careful to listen and act on His instruction he honors us with his Word.

I had such a hard time understanding this because I know that there is nothing we can do as believers to lose his love. We can't do anything to get it eaither. He loves us becuase He is love and there is nothing He won't do for us. But what I believe this scripture says is that when we actively practice His Word we form a deeper bond with him. We encounter covenants that were in place for the believers before us. Believing God will get you saved but listening and actively practicing his Word and what He divinely instructs puts us in his glory.

To fear the Lord is not to be scared of Him necessarily. When you "fear" God you are saying that you give him the authority to lead your life... you will follow as he leads!

When David defeated Goliath it was because he knew Goliath went against God's Word. David went to defend God's Word. Did you know David was a shepherd. He was a protector of sheep! And in an act to protect God's sheep David (the youngest of Jesse's sons who was never trained by Saul's army) killed Goliath with a slingshot!

When you are divinely guided by God no one can defeat you no matter the size or their army. In Bible study 2 weeks ago visiting Pastor, Mumba, spoke about being in God's circle. I like to call it the circle of trust. He can trust that we are going to follow his Word/ plan of action. No one can step into this covenant (circle of trust) no one can break it. They have to break God and get throught Jesus to touch you.

Be fearless of the whiles of the enemy knowing you have Heavenly wisdom that keeps you in God's circle.

Think about this as you come across situations that you may have perceived to be difficult, scarry or life threatneing! Speak unto your mountains. Profess the Word of God!
