My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Psalms 111:10, ” The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom ; All who follow his precepts have good understanding. To Him belongs eternal praise”.
The Lord gives wisdom, to all those who lack wisdom. God gives wisdom to all those who live according to his commandments. The word “beginning “in scripture, means the chief or the most important. Holy reverence to God leads us to praise Him and this is the point which the psalmist drives at, for it is a wise act on the part of a creature towards his creator. Sing out the honour of His name. Make His praise glorious.
A good understanding have all they that do His commandments. Obedience to God is the fundamental godly attitude. Practical Godliness is the test of wisdom. Doing the will of God is the best proof of one’s intelligence. The fear of the Lord is not a fear of God’s judgement, but of His goodness and grace. It is a reverential affection for Him. He loves you and gave Himself for you. He bore your iniquities in His own body, to save you from the gates of hell. At times the devil comes into our lives and takes away the wisdom, given by God. The only solution to come out of such problems is JESUS. He being the God of peace will crush satan under your feet.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, satan wages war against his children and often tries to put them down, but the Lord Jesus has fought the battle once for all on the cross of Calvary. He has redeemed you from the bondage of sin and shame.
Do you love Him in return for what He has done for you ? Do you have that reverential affection for Him? The Bible says, For God gives wisdom, and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight. Are you good in His sight? If not reconcile with God today. Make Him your good friend. Then He will pour out His blessings from heaven above. Your Barns will be filled with plenty, And your Vats will overflow, with new wine. They who trust in the Lord shall prosper.
God Bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we are grateful to you for having paid the penalty of our sins. Forgive all our sinful nature and accept us as Your friend. God be merciful to us and bless us. Teach us to sing praise to the name of the Lord and glorify His name. Consider us and cause Your face to shine on us. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
