Fear God
Passage – Psa 25:14
- The secret counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he reveals his covenant to them. (CSB)
- The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. (NKJV)
- The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. (NIV)
- The LORD is a friend to those who fear him. He teaches them his covenant. (NLT)
God’s best is only shared with those who fear Him.
If we desire God’s best counsel we probably need to take more seriously His directives with a commitment to obey.
John Bevere asked Jim Bakker in prison, “Jim, when did you fall out of love with Jesus?”
He looked at John and said, “John, I loved Jesus, but I didn’t fear God.”
Jim said, “John, this prison is not God’s judgement on my life but his mercy. I believe if I had continued on the path I was on, I would have ended up in hell!”
There are millions of Christians in America who love Jesus but don’t fear Him, and it is the fear of the Lord that perfects holiness in our life.
Are we willing to share God’s best with those who have need of His truth?
Or, are we more interested in being shallow friends?
Thomas Sowell (very wise and respected author) said, “When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.”
