REVERING GOD OUR CREATOR


Psalm 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever.

Wow! In the book of Hosea 4:6, bible said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children”

What was it that Israel did not know, and why was that lack of knowledge so dangerous? They have rejected His word. They don't revere God so they decided not to obey His commands - His Laws. So we see clearly that the Israelites for lack of understanding, have placed themselves and even their own children under God's rejection. How is it possible that you reject your source and still want to survive. It is impossible!

Child of God, one thing I keep pondering over is the fact that, fear grips us whenever we see a soldier or policeman with a gun. And this thing mostly happens instinctively when we are doing the wrong thing.

The fact is that, the difference between this two characters (soldier and policeman), and us, is power and authority (gun and uniform). In exception of that, we are all the same ordinary human beings. So if we can revere our fellow mortals this much, then why can't we revere He that created us from dust? Bible says, He is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. Do we even have to fear a personality of this caliber only when we are in the act of wrongdoing? Will it not be prudent that we revere God for the very fact that we are alive because of Him?

Deuteronomy 6:24 "So the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God for our good always and for our survival, as it is today.

Our good depends on God. Our survival also depends on Him. Bible says in Romans 8:28, " And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

If you revere God, then you will automatically love Him. Remember that we were bought at a price and He called us for a purpose, so don't disappoint God for He creating you. On the day of fertilization, several sperms fought to fertilize that egg, but God chose you. It is for a purpose. Revere Him and enjoy the benefits thereof.

Prayer: Lord we thank you for your word. We also thank you for the fact that you chose us out of the lot. Help us to revere you now and always, for we cannot do it on our own. Grant unto us the ability and capability to revere you in the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
