Proverbs
8:13, “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and
the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.”
I was amazed this week to learn that there's
enough atomic energy in an
average sized tree to supply all the electrical energy for America over
the next 10 years. God is so amazing! Read these Scriptures about the fear
of the Lord...
2nd Chronicles
19:9, “And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the
LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.”
Job 28:28, “And
unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to
depart from evil is understanding.”
Psalms 19:9, “The
fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD
are true and righteous altogether.”
Psalms 34:11,
“Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the
LORD.”
Psalms 111:10,
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding
have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.”
Proverb 1:7, “The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom
and instruction.
Proverb 1:29, “For
that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD.”
Proverb 2:5, “Then
shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of
God.”
Proverb 8:13, “The
fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil
way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.”
Proverb 9:10, “The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the
holy is understanding.”
The following information is nothing less than
truly amazing, evidencing how powerful (omnipotent) and awesome our God
truly is...
I can't even fathom such startling truths. One
200 pound man has enough atomic energy in his body to equal 157,307
Hiroshima type nuclear bombs. I cannot even grasp this amazing scientific
fact! Please read,
GOD IS
AMAZING!
Hebrews 10:31 warns that it is a fearful thing
to fall into the hands of the living God. I do fear God. Do you? I am
saddened for those in our deteriorated American culture today who blaspheme
the Son of God to appease the wicked people who control Hollywood, the TV
networks, the heathen mainstream newsmedia, the entertainment and music
industries, and sad to say, even the apostate ecumenical movement. Sarah
Silverman, Conan O'Brien, John Stewart, Bill Maher, Shakira, Selena Gomez
and Katy Perry... these all are Christ-rejecting blasphemers!
John Hagee has lost his mind, teaching that Jesus was not the Messiah.
Hagee claims that since the Bible never said Jesus is the Messiah, the Jews
didn't really murder their Messiah. Hagee is a liar and had better read John
4:25-26 where Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well that He is indeed
the Messiah that should come. I believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the
living God, and I hope you do to for your own eternal sake.
Isaiah 45:9, “Woe unto him that
striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of
the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest
thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?”
If you haven't feared God until now, then
decide to do so. It's a simple decision. I choose to fear God; therefore,
everything I think and do is guided by that decision. I choose to love
others and help people because I fear God and have to stand accountable at
the Judgment Seat Of Christ.
Salvation is a choice, which brings about the
miraculous new birth. Salvation is a supernatural miracle on God's part in
response to our faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. If you choose to receive the
Gospel (i.e., the death, burial and resurrection) of the Lord Jesus Christ
as payment for your sins, then you will be saved immediately, irrevocably
and eternally.
Time And Chance Happeneth To Them
All
Life is a series of decisions. How we make
those decisions largely determines our future. It is true to some degree
that we make our own fate.
Of course, this is only partially true, because
time and chance happeneth to all. The Scripture reference for that Bible
verse is easy to remember...
Ecclesiastes 9:11, “I
returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor
the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches
to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but
time and chance happeneth to them all.”
Isn't that amazing? I think about the September
11, 2001 Trade Tower attacks. Although the attacks themselves were planned
and carried out by Saudi Arabian criminals (and orchestrated by the Bush
administration criminals), the people who lived or died was a matter of time
and chance. Many survivors testified how they would have been in the
buildings, but weren't for one reason or another. And sadly, some people
were in the buildings when they blew up and fell, who normally wouldn't have
been there. Most of the victims were in their normal job positions. They
were in the right place at the right time, but it all went so horribly wrong
that day. Time and chance happened to thousands of people on that
terrible day on September 11, 2001.
The very thought that time and chance play such
a big role in my life (that I have no control over) frustrates and scares
me. Yet, I have God's PROMISE in Romans 8:28 that all things will work
together for good to them who are God's redeemed children. There's no
such thing as a born-again Christian who hates the Lord. So when the Bible
mentions those who love God in Romans 8:28 and are called according to God's
purpose, it simply refers to every born-again believer who has received the
Gospel as payment for their sins. 1st Peter 2:7 says that Jesus is precious
to every one that believeth. As Christians we may get angry at God sometimes
(which is normal in our pain and afflictions), but we still love Him (the
same as when we are upset with a loved one). Being melancholy is part of our
human emotions.
The Greatness Of God Cannot Be
Searched Out
Psalms 145:3 says that God's greatness is
unsearchable. When I consider the work of God's hands in the universe, I
cannot help but stand in awe at my God. Astronomers have discovered that
there are at least one trillion-billion stars. That's
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars (one sextillion). That's the minimum
they've determined). Can you imagine? I learned this fact from the following
video...
GOD OF WONDERS
VIDEO
God spoke the stars into existence and has a
name for each and every one of them according to Psalms 147:4, “He
telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” If
God can create, name and maintain a sextillion stars (and that's just the
number men have discovered), do you think He cannot know the very thoughts
of 6.8 billion people on earth? Matthew 10:29-30 says that God even knows
the number of hairs on our head.
God is greatly to be feared. Yet, we need not
be afraid so long as we obey Him, serving Him in godly reverence and fear as
Hebrews 12:28 teaches. Romans 3:18 says that most people have no fear of God
before their eyes. Fools!!! Do they not realize that this life is but a
vapor, and then the JUDGMENT (Hebrews 9:27)! Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 concludes
that man's duty is to fear God and keep His Commandments. Verse 14 proclaims
that every work shall be brought into judgment.
