The Bible instructs us that a healthy fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Yet sometimes, in our shortsightedness, we fail to show respect for our Creator because we fail to obey Him. When we do, our disobedience always has consequences, and sometimes those consequences are severe.
When we honor the Father by obeying His commandments, we receive His love and His grace. Today, let us demonstrate our respect for God by developing a healty fear of disobeying Him.

Prayer from the Blogger:
Heaven Father,
When we live lives for our own pleasures and not for Yours, we always sin. We get caught up in those sins with no remorse, or fear of You. We ask for forgiveness LORD. Develop in us a fear of You, that may repent of our sinful lives.
Amen
