T.O.D.A.Y.'S ENCOURAGEMENT for Sept. 16, 2010
T.O.D.A.Y. Ministries Good Morning! I am still sharing about being
"covenant-minded", and talking "covenant-talk". Today, I want to talk about the
importance of having a reverential fear of The Lord. After all, this is what we
must have, in order to get to the place where we really are "mindful" of His
covenant. Proverbs 1:7 tells us that the reverent
and worshipful fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Of course, it is
talking about "Godly" wisdom, not the wisdom of the world! So, then...IF we have
a reverential fear of The Lord, it will keep our "walk" in line with God's will,
because we will want to use His "wisdom" in the decisions and choices that we
make each day. Also....IF we have a reverential fear
of The Lord, it will keep our "talk" in line with God's will, or as I put
it....we will talk "covenant-talk". You know why? Because if we really have a
reverential fear of The Lord, a warning "beep" will go off on the inside of us
when we say something contrary to what God's Word says! Remember, this "signal"
is only activated by the "reverential fear of The Lord"! What does it mean to have a reverential
fear of The Lord? First of all, let's look at what it does NOT mean~~~~It does
not mean that you think about Him as the "big eye in the sky" with a great big
"stick", waiting for you to make a wrong move! It simply means that you have
such a love and reverence for Him, that you want to be obedient to His Word and
be pleasing to Him! It means that you are willing to say NO to what your flesh
wants, feels or thinks, and say YES to what His Word says about your situation!
Oh, this is a good word from the Lord! Can I get a AMEN? A lot of people think they have a
reverential fear of The Lord, but they don't have a revelation of His
"covenant".....Well, tomorrow, I am going to give you a scripture that will let
you know what His Word has to say about that! Stay tuned in, turned on and
teachable! Reflection: As I was just reading back over what I typed, I was
wondering why The Lord had me say that about staying "teachable"....and this is
what He spoke in my spirit~~~~~Anytime, we think that we don't need to hear a
certain message (because we think we already know about that)....that is the
very message that we DO need to hear! Selah (which means....stop and think about
it)! I don't know about you guys and gals, but "this kid" is gonna stay
TEACHABLE! Have a Blessed Day!! (Stay tuned in,
turned on and teachable!) In His Love, Luanne
