hello.. it's been awhile since anyone updated. i hope you all are still doing fine.. :)

recently God has been teaching me about having a fear for Him. most of us have heard of the verse that says..

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. -Proverbs 9:10

but have we fully understood the meaning of it? for me.. i guess it was just, alright.. so fearing God is a good thing. today, very miraculously.. i came across a verse that spoke of the fear of the Lord again. (and it was the first verse i glanced at)

Proverbs 19:23
The fear of the LORD leads to life: Then one rests content, untouched by trouble.

this verse.. says that fear for God actually will lead to life. i dont know wht you all think, but my first rxn was.. how can a fear bring life, instead of destruction?

God explained and i realised wht he meant in that verse. What would you do if you feared someone? You would obey the person, isnt it? and in our case, obeying God means listening to him and letting his will be done in our lives, regardless of how pain it can be.

once we submit to him with all our hearts, we no longer feel the burdens/worries that life gives to us.. because we learn to put our trust in God and believe that as long as we do our best, he will do the rest. as we read on.. the verse says "then one rests content"

one finds contentment when we have done our best in everything and then, we need to rest.. to recharge our strength (not that we survive by our own strength, but because God made us in this way, such that rest is an important part of working as well)

but it continues on with "untouched by trouble". This is what God assures us.. that his protection will be upon us everywhere we go. That when we have depleted all our energy, the devil cannot touch us, because of the blood of Jesus that covers us.

:) so it all begins with our hearts. do you want to fear the things of the world, or to fear the creator of the world? you decide.

1 John 4:4
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

may the assurance of God be with all of you! God is with you, all the time.
