Commit to Memory: “For the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you have done. He has watched your every step through this great wilderness. During these forty years, the Lord your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing.” (Deuteronomy 2:7 NLT)
Today’s commit to memory relays one of the limitless blessings and dividends of those that fear the Lord. Just fear the Lord, fear yea Him, there may be hunger and pandemic in the land, but once you fear him- it will not come near you. You need to believe and keep saying it until you are convicted of this kingdom reality. The Bible says in Job 4:11 that:
“The old lion perish for lack of prey and the cubs of the lioness are scattered”
So it’s not only the young lion that suffers lack (Psalm 34:10), likewise the old lion perish for lack, but again those who fear the Lord, I mean those who reverence and trust in Him will not suffer the shame of lack. So there comes the question, what does it mean to fear God? It means to keep God’s commandments and these commands are not burdensome (Psalm 111:10,1 John 5:3), to love the Lord such that you will have holy reverence for Him. Why? To love the things He loves and hates the things he hates (Deut.6:5, Prov 15:33), to hate evil, pride and arrogance (Prov.18:13), to run away from sin (Gen.39:9), to seek instruction, wisdom, knowledge and understanding from above (Prov 1:7), to wholeheartedly trust the Lord ( Prov. 14:26), to walk in His ways and serve him from a pure conscience (Deut.10:12) and to prolong your days (Prov.10:27) etc.
Beloved, is your back against the wall? Does it seem it’s all over? Listen Jehovah is taking over, He will make a way for you, just do your best to make sure you are Holy in His eyes and fear Him. This is because when you fear the Lord, you will abide satisfied in spirit, soul and body. The fear of the Lord tendeth to life, if you have it- then you shall be satisfied with good things that pertains to life and godliness, and evil shall be far from your boarders. Psalms 84:11 says
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.”
Do you fear the Lord? Are there things you do in secret that should not be mentioned among Believers? Does your life bring shame and repel people from the Kingdom? If you name the name of Christ, then the Lord is saying to you today to fear Him- Let him be your fear and dread in all things and all times (Isaiah 8:13). You’re not lacking, you cannot be limited. Not at all, you only need to have this renewed mind shift.
Reflection: The finished work of Christ has provided everything you need and will ever need to access and live an overcoming, blessed, prosperous, abundant and fulfilled life.
