Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Sir. 34:14. Whoso feareth the Lord shall not fear nor be afraid; for he is his hope.  (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

The Bible says, 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom' and it is so true, because when a man fears God, he does things according to what God tells him to do and what God has set as right, is right forever under any circumstance and never changes no matter what the situation is.  God's laws are a light to the feet of men and direct His ways in an orderly and successful manner for they advise man in the right way. 

In the laws of God there is no provision for any wrong for God does not tolerate wrong.  When a man fears God, and when I say fears God, I mean is in awe of God, then he refrains from doing anything that isn't right.  Intrinsically, he adopts God's nature which is forceful and true.  Besides, when you keep God's Word, the whole power of God is with you for He loves you and talks about you as a righteous man, when you obey His laws.  A man learns in life that when he obeys God, God works out all things for him sometimes even in the most difficult situations, for God knows how to write straight on crooked lines.  God's blessings dwell with that man and His eye of protection is always on him and his people; didn't God protect Lot, Abraham's nephew, because of Abraham? 

When we fear God, fear of anything else is obliterated from our lives for God reigns supreme in us and in that we see how Awesome He is and how He can make any of our enemies bite the dust even if they as much as cast an evil glance upon us.  Yeah, when God rules in us, after we harbor awe for Him, things though seemingly unfavorable or out of control, are turned in our favor by God and He gives us perfect control with the reins of our lives leading us to be happy and contented in whatever we think and do and everything we touch finds success.
