Benefits of Having the Fear of the LORD (1)

Psalms 111:5 "He gave food to those who fear him, He remembered to keep his ancient promise." MSG

Point to ponder on: God is a covenant keeping God, He is faithful regardless of time and meets the need of those who fear Him.

To fear the LORD is to reverently obey His word and to treat every sacred thing with a humble and contrite heart. You have not seen God with your naked eyes but you have read His word and with the same word we will all be judged. How you treat God's word is a proof whether you fear Him or not. Any act of disobedience to God's word or dishonour to sacred things is a show that the fear of the LORD is lacking. This fear of the LORD doesn't make us to fidget before Him but rather produce humility and awe in us to confidently depend on Him and reach out to Him. God takes note of those who fear Him and He will reward them accordingly. Let us search the scriptures together and find out some benefits you stand to gain when you fear the Lord.

Benefits(Ps.111:5)
1.He will not allow you to go hungry.This comes in two folds that spiritually those who fear God are fed with the spiritual truth from the revelation of the word of God so that there shall never be any hunger of the spirit not fed by the revelation of God's word and likewise the provision for physical food.
2.He supplies your needs. Both spiritual and physical food are basic needs of a believer and those who fear Him have nothing to worry about because He will supply their needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
3.He is committed to keeping His long established covenant with you. God will fulfil every promise in His word concerning you as a believer who fears Him.

From the scripture above we can see three benefits and we shall find out more as we dig deeper into the Holy scriptures. It pays to fear the LORD by reverently obeying His word fully.

To fear the Lord requires that the spirit of the fear of the Lord rests upon you, so pray for an impartation. I pray that the spirit of the fear of the Lord will rest upon you as it was on Christ Jesus as revealed by the prophecy of Isaiah 11:1-2 in Jesus name.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy His favour.
