Christian Commentary
Fear Of The Lord
PROVERBS 9:10 NKJ 10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
I look at fearing God like a young child would look at a good father: He is not going to harm me -- but He won't permanently let me get away with anything, either.
While God's wisdom may cause Him to not always immediately respond to our wrong-doing, we can be sure that eventually God will deal with us.
We can be confident that we do not have to be afraid of God because He has revealed His nature to us through the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, God is all-knowing and powerful beyond our imagination, so we should not think we can rebel against God and get away with it, either.
ISAIAH 8:13 NLT 13 Do not fear anything except the LORD Almighty. He alone is the Holy One. If you fear him, you need fear nothing else.
God has never been wrong, and you won't succeed at being the first to outsmart Him. God's way is perfect, so when we scorn God's wisdom and go another way, we are destined to fail. We should be afraid of that!
Think of fearing God as respect, but extreme respect of the most powerful Being, and you will have the meaning.
We need not be afraid of God, for He will not harm us. But if we are wise, we will be afraid of going any way but God's way, because it will not work.
SAY THIS: To fear God means to highly respect Him, not to be afraid that He will harm us.

Meeting You Where You Are?
Daily Bible Verse & Prayer
Today's Verse - Acts 2:21, 40-41
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. ... With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Call on the name of the LORD to save you! Proclaim Jesus as your risen LORD! Share with him in baptism as the first Christians did. Have God add you to his holy people. Know that Jesus will save you from the corruption that plagues our world and so many of our lives. You see, God sent Jesus to save, redeem, restore, and bless us. Share in the joy of that salvation. Don't wait! Today is the day of salvation! Rejoice in it. Pass it on to others. Christ our King has come to bring his salvation to all of us who will truly believe!
My Prayer...
Father, thank you for sending Jesus the first time to die for my sins! Thank you for sending Jesus into my heart to comfort and strengthen me as he works in my life! Thank you most of all for my salvation, which will be fully realized when Jesus returns. So, I pray in Jesus' name, with anticipation. Amen.

Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Law couldn't do it. Sacrifices couldn't do it. Piety couldn't achieve it. Religious practices couldn't make it happen. Only Jesus could bring complete salvation, the forgiveness of sins, and eternal life. Only Jesus can make us fully righteous and holy. Forgiveness and righteousness come through him, and faith in him. Jesus is God's most complete revelation of himself and his grace, and the sacrifice he made for our sins brings us forgiveness and eternal life (John 1:1-18; Hebrews 1:1-3; 1 John 2:2, 4:10).
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous Father, God Almighty, I confess that your Son is my Savior and LORD, Jesus the Christ. I thank you, Jesus, for being my LORD and paying the price for my sins. I ask, blessed Holy Spirit, that you fashion more of Jesus' character and compassion in my life as I pursue him in my daily life and in the Scriptures. In Jesus' name, I ask you for this grace, and I ask for this blessing. Amen.

Restore us, O LORD God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
In the days of Jesus' birth, a group of devout and lowly people called the "pious poor" were looking for God's redemption of his people. We meet some of them in the first two chapters of Luke's Gospel - Zechariah and Elizabeth, Anna and Simeon, along with Mary and Joseph. They knew that salvation could not, and would not, come without great cost - not just to themselves, but also to God. Isaiah had prophesied about this redemption in his Servant Songs (Isaiah 53:1-12). They had experienced suffering and hardship in their own history. So with honest hearts, they confessed that they didn't have the power to bring their own salvation and deliverance. This power had to come from their almighty God. They believed God would release this power for the powerless, yet righteous and devout, people seeking God's transformation in their lives and waiting for God to console and redeem Israel (Luke 2:25; 24:21). They knew they needed to ask God for it! They knew to seek his face and find his presence in their daily lives. So we join them as we cry out, "Restore us, O LORD God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved."

My Prayer...
O LORD, God of heaven and earth, Ruler of all creation, I praise you. I praise you for your power and glory. I praise you for your wisdom and creativity. I praise you for your mercy and righteousness. I praise you, because you alone are worthy of my praise. O LORD, you alone can bring full salvation to me, to the lost, and to my brothers and sisters in need. Please, shine your face upon me. Please, make your presence known in our lives and shine your face upon us. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
