"How JOYFUL are those who FEAR the Lord. All who follow His ways!"
Do you experience joy in your life? Is your work a joy to you? Is your marriage a joy to you? Are your children the joy of your life? If they are not then you need to understand the One Truth Today. The reason many people do not experience joy in their life is that they do not fear the Lord. The reason that some lives lack joy is that they do not follow the Lord in all of His ways. Those who know the Lord and walk in His ways are to be envied because they receive the promise of God for a joyful life. How would others describe your life, are you happy and fortunate? Is your life filled with joy?
All true believer's know that if you want to be blessed by God then you must have a personal relationship with Him. Once you know God then you have a chance at wisdom. Remember that the beginning of wisdom is the Fear of God! The path to a happy, joyful, fortunate life is to know and revere the Lord and Worship Him only. The proof that you have respected and feared the Lord is that you walk in His ways and according to His commandments. The fruit or result of following His ways will be seen in the joy of your life! If you want your life to be joyful and fruitful then know, fear and respect God.
Fear is not usually associated with joy. This type of fear is one of respect and knowledge. The truth is that by not having respect and fear of God we are liable to believe that we are God. You would have to look to yourself for Salvation and life and that is impossible. When we disrespect the Lord we become separated from Him and the results are a most fearful end and eternal damnation. The choice is up to you to fear God or not! You can walk in His ways, or you can walk your own way. The choice is clear and can be made right now. If you do not know, love and fear God, then ask Him into your life today and when you do the promise is that your life will become one that is joyful. JOYFUL FEAR is the gift of God.
