I fear God, and next to God I chiefly fear him who fears Him not. --Saadia Ben Joseph
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7
Fear” is the prevalent attitude in today’s society. While to some degree it may be honorable, it is a dangerous way to live your life. If you do not have a reverential fear of the Lord that gives you the air you breathe, the food you eat, and can save your wretched soul, you my friend are standing in a dangerous place.
My CPA, a Christian man, recently shared with my wife and I, “You can know how much someone fears the Lord by doing a survey of their checkbook and their calendar.” Man that sure is the truth! Where you spend your money and time speaks volumes as to how much you fear the Lord.
If I were to see your calendar or your tax returns what would they reveal about your life?
