Those that Fear God Are:

11. Given the Ability to Excel (Come forth of the all)
Ec 7:18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.

12. Given a Treasure

Isa 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

13. Given Life and Peace

Mal 2:5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.

14. Given Houses

Ex 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

Ex 1:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

God dealt well with these midwives because they feared God and protected the people of God.

Ex 1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

God blessed them with houses because they feared Him.

15. Preserved Alive

De 6:24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

Again, we see that the LORD expected His children to fear Him.

In fact, He expects all mankind to fear Him.

When we do, He will bless.

He told the children of Israel that if they feared Him He would preserve their life.

16. Delivered from Enemies

2Ki 17:39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

God promised to deliver those who fear Him from their enemies.

When you fear God, He will fight for you.

He is there to conquer your enemies.

This would include the spiritual enemies, too.

17. Blessed in their Labours

Job 1:8 Job was a man who feared God.

Job 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

Job 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

Satan too recognized that Job feared God.

BUT Satan also saw that God had blessed Job.

God had put a hedge about him and his house

and blessed the works of his hands.

Job obviously worked with his hands

and God blessed his work much because of his fear.

Job, a man who feared God

was blessed in his labours.

18. Given Wisdom & Understanding

Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

The fear of the Lord is wisdom.

Pr 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Pr 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

and the instruction of wisdom.

If you want God to bless you with wisdom

you need to fear Him.

Ps 25:12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

When you fear God

He will teach you in His choicest ways.

There are many paths you can take in life.

You can go in many directions.

BUT the way of the Lord is taught to those who fear Him.

God will show you the best path for your life

but you must fear Him before He does.

8. Given Strong Confidence

Well. Grandma left today. It's pretty boring now since she's gone. Here's what we did Friday, Satureday and Sunday.





Mini-golfing at Pike Lake on Friday.






On Saturday my dad's aunt Kay and uncle Dave came to our house and Dave 'drafted' workers to clean his really dirty car.








Last night we played 'ten up and ten down' with the whole family.

Psalms 119:1-3 ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

Proverbs 2:1-11 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Temptation

When you’re in temptation…

1. Watch and pray. Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

2. Depend on Christ for help. 2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

3. Use your sword and shield. Matthew 4:1-11 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

4. Find the way to escape. 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

5. Take the way to escape. Genesis 39:7-12 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

Joseph found a way to escape and took that way.

6. Wait on the Lord. (Joshua 7) If Achan had waited he could have had all the spoil he wanted from A-I than what he stole. If we resist temptation, we will have a better reward than if we hadn’t resisted.
