"True humility and the fear of the Lord lead to RICHES, HONOR AND LONG LIFE!"
RICHES, HONOR, LONG LIFE, does that sound pretty good to you? Our One Truth Today has the formula you need to use to achieve that goal. While you are here on earth, what is it that you would like to achieve? It seems elemental that as pilgrims passing through this world we would prefer to have riches. Remember the old saying, "I have been rich and I have been poor, and rich is better"? As believer's in the Word of God we do not want to be gaudy or ostentatious but to have enough wealth to live a good life and give to others. True riches are knowing and serving God, keeping in mind that everything we have is from Him. We also remember that we can take nothing with us when we leave this earth. That is why the more the Lord blesses us the more we are to bless others. Riches when used for God's purposes are not evil. Do you love and fear the Lord God? Are you humble by nature, truly humble?
Have you received honor from your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors? Have you done enough in your chosen profession that your peers have honored you? Do others look to you for sound advice and good counsel? We can not become proud if this has occurred, we must remain truly humble when others honor us. No one can replace God and His wisdom, but as His child we can pass on His truths to those we care about. If we fear the Lord and have found a place for humility in our lives, God will lead us to RICHES, HONOR AND LONG LIFE!
Many wonder why some lives are so short and end so soon in our timing. Even when we keep in mind that they are at home with the Lord and in a better place then we are, we pray and ask God for a long Godly life. White hair is a sign of blessing from the Lord. It shows that we have had an opportunity to grow in the Lord and then to bless others with His Truth. We have so many memories and experiences that can be used to help others find and stay on the right path! As we grow older we can offer Godly counsel and direction to our family and friends. Long life gives us more opportunity to bring others to a saving grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. We have hopefully learned how wisdom has its beginning in the Fear of God and knowing His power leads to our true humility. If you want RICHES, HONOR AND LONG LIFE, FEAR THE LORD AND HAVE TRUE HUMILITY!
