Proverbs 1:7 — “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
When we speak of fear, we are not talking about living scared of God, but living in awe of who He is. The fear of the Lord is knowing that God is holy, that He hates sin, and that His judgment against sin is righteous. To fear God means to honor Him, obey Him, submit to His correction, and worship Him with humility and awe. We do not have to be afraid of God, because through Christ we have the promise that nothing can separate us from the love of God.That love should never lead us to lose our reverence for Him, because the world is watching. Someone wisely said, “The fear of God will never come upon the people outside the church until it first comes upon the people inside the church.” May we honor the Lord in the way we live, speak, and worship Him!

Mark 1:18 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
In the first chapter of the Gospel of Mark, the word *“immediately”* is used many times. Mark uses it to show the power and urgency of Jesus’ ministry. Jesus moved immediately to heal, teach, deliver, and call people to follow Him. And when Jesus called the disciples, they responded immediately. This reminds us that delayed obedience can become disobedience. We say, “Later, Lord,” instead of “Yes, Lord.” But listen when Jesus calls, the right response is an immediate yes Lord! Is there something God has been dealing with in your heart? A step of faith, repentance, or obedience you’ve been putting off? Don’t delay what God is calling you to do today.

📖Psalm 19:14 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”
This verse is one of my life verses, something I try to remember to pray each and very day. I think this is a prayer for staying close and clean before the Lord as we ask God to keep us alined to His will. This reminds us what we say and what we think matter to God and we ask our Lord to bring what we say and think under His authority. Our words reveal what’s in our hearts, and our thoughts shape the direction of our lives. Make this your prayer today; “Lord, let what I say and what I think honor You.”

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
I praise God today for answered prayer, and the fact He hears us when we cry out to Him. But let us not fool ourselves, God doesn’t answer our prayer because we are good. No, as Tozer once stated; “ Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it”.If God answers prayer it is because God is good. So we praise Him today for He is good, He is faithful, and His everlasting love is the source it all.
