~Psalm 25:12
From the Pastor's Study:
We are in a season of "Choice". As you know, the political arena is full of choices, from Legislatures, Governors, Mayors to the President of the United States. We are called upon to make a choice! We may choose a party, a candidate, or chose to be disinterested and not participate at all. But whatever we do, we Choose! Choices abound daily in our lives how fast to drive, when to stop or when to go; we can choose to give our tithes unto the Lord or choose to just give a portion, or perhaps just an offering. We can choose spiritual things, oppose them or not think about them. On and on go the choices that we are freely given. Our text today deals with "Choosing to fear the Lord" for we find some wonderful revealing things as we look to this scripture. If we choose to "fear" the Lord, He will teach us to choose His ways in our life. He will cause our soul to dwell in ease, that is the fleshly realm of our being will cease to war within our inner man. God's way always brings Peace and Rest, perhaps not immediately, but eventually! Our seed, children will be blessed. He will share His secrets with us and He will show us His Covenant. " We know in part, but the time will come according to..." 1 Cor. 13:12,"... that we will know Him face to face." God will give truth to honest seekers. This is the hour in our generation to seek Truth, Knowledge, and Wisdom that we might choose the right ways of God. To "fear" God is to reverence Him, respect and honor Him, His Word, and His Son who is our Salvation! Joshua gave a powerful choice to God's people in Chapter 24: "Refuse evil, choose the good" ... "choose you this day whom ye will serve," And Joshua set forth a stone to remember the moment of dedication!
Jesus is our CornerStone!
Loving you, Pastor
