For Fear Of Him

Psalms 34:3-7


"Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

⁴ I sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
⁵ They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
⁶ This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
⁷ The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them."

How many of us, had fears before giving ourselves to the Lord?  My fear at first was loosing my mother and sister to this world.  I had dreams and goals, and knew if I didn't have them to enjoy them with, what was the point in achieving them.  So I gave myself to our Lord and opened my bible.  I had to learn and search His word, in hopes of turning my situation around.  It took years for me to understand the scripture that says, our enemies would be those of our own household.  And the more I tried to be right by God and them, the more heartless I saw my family become.  I began to read my bible more intently and watch those around me manifest its every word.  I was in complete joy, and complete misery. Joy, because the bible was true, and misery because no one truly loved me.  And I knew God must be here.  So I deepened my search and lifted my praise to Him.  I just couldn't be alone out here in this cold wilderness.  I made God and His word my security blanket and all I did, I tried to do for Him.  The Trinity would now become my only source I could rely on and I wasn't disappointed.  I prayed, I fast.  I spoke to Them from within and spoke of them before strangers.  Spite all my fallings down, and rising backs up, I lived for God now.  It was no more playing with my life or salvation any longer.  Then They manifested Themselves in 2011 and I was overjoyed.  I also, haven't been the same, for the fear of Him.

(Joshua 24:14)  "Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord!"

Blessings to all who fear the Lord out of love
