Know the word ... fear the LORD

Hello precious girls... and guys - if you are reading this page,

Just wanted to write a bit of an encouraging word to you all today. I was enjoying some time with the Lord this morning - sitting on the balcony, with my bible, note book and coffee. I was reading in Deuteronomy and was drawn to a passage about Joshua and Moses. Chapter 31 Veres 9 - 13 are about the public reading of the Law. This stuck out to me because it was talking about Children and young people knowing the the law and learning how to fear the Lord. I think often we forget how powerful, and how important the word of God is. If we do not know the word of God, we will then be lacking in the fear of the Lord. Psalm 111:10 says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise".

I want to encourage you today to make time to spend with God in HIS word. This is where you will gain wisdom, and this is where you will learn how to Fear the Lord - not be scared of him , but have a reverence and awe of God. The word of God is powerful, it is a weapon for us to use in defeating the enemy, it is a source of encouragement to our hearts, it gives us promises that we can hold on to in good and bad times. 

Today may you experience the fear of the LORD... and in doing so you will gain wisdom and understanding.

Blessings,

katie
