THE PRICE OF NOT FEARING GOD
But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God. – Ecclesiastes 8:13
Perpetual sin is dangerous. People who continue to choose wrong, being satisfied when they hurt someone, in order for themselves to prosper, will end up hardening their hearts in their wickedness. A hardened heart constantly ignores the warnings of the Holy Spirit and cancels the chances of repentance. The end of such a person is not a good one.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Recognizing our dependency on God is the wisest thing we can do. The fear of God is not terror. We need to honor the Lord and have a healthy fear to not sin against Him. The Lord wants a perfect love relationship with us and He has given us His Holy Spirit to guide and help us walk on the “narrow path” of Truth, towards heaven. Our true value is given by our relationship with God.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Father God, please help me to value the eternal things more than what I might have here on earth. Please help me to hate evil and love all that pleases You. I cannot make it without Your help, so please give me Your wisdom and help me make the right decisions by following the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Thank You with all my heart for all You did and continue to do for me. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
