Our Scripture reading today is 1 Samuel 12:24, "Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth
with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you."
A proper fear for the LORD will lead someone to live their lives for His glory. When
we fear the LORD, we are aware of His almighty power and are willing to humble
ourselves and serve Him. A clear indication of not fearing God is living in disobedience
to His Word. While no Christian lives in sinless perfection, he or she should strive to
put God first in every area of their life.
It would be a good spiritual exercise to take special note of all the blessings God has
bestowed upon our lives. I am quite sure we would be unable to remember them all.
As we bring these blessings to mind, it causes us to fear and worship the LORD even
more. Fear Him today by obeying Him! Fear Him today by thanking Him!
