Tim's devotions

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.

Psalm 111:10

Fear God each and everyday. Out of this fear, we as men and women, will begin to understand His power, His might and His love for us. When we throw caution to the wind or live our lives 'in the flesh', we are falling victim to the enemy. When we do not fear the Lord, we rely on ourselves of which the enemy wants us to believe is the right way. Stay the course and fear God and all will be well.

I know when I am out of touch with the Lord, I can feel it and it's unmistaken. I feel anxiety. I feel fearful and begin to tumble into a web of deceit and fear which is absolutely what God does not want for us! He wants our entire hearts, our souls each and every day. In the days that I fall outside of Him, I actually pay with human capital and sometime my very own soul! The enemy wants us to fall and to default into a world of deceit. When we fear God, we are honoring Him.

Lord, thank you for your forgiveness and willingness to take me back each and everytime. Grant me the peace and wisdom to my son's when they drift away from me. I ask that you continue to guide me and offer me your strength in challenging times. I know your power and your ability of controlling all outcomes. If it is to be, it is through you.

Amen!
