Fear God

We live in a day a true fear of God does not seem to exist for if it did this country of ours would be much different! Check these verses out:



Proverbs 1:28-29

28 “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord,



Many call upon God when they need something, many seek God for their own selfish gain, and then they forsake God because He does not answer. God is clear here that we must hold Him in the proper position in our life because He is God! He has given us a guide book for life called the bible but most chose not to read it or understand it as the verse says above we hate knowledge because it points out our sin and we want to keep our sinful lives! We think if we don't read our bibles it will somehow make us accountable for our sin because of ignorance! Oh how wrong that is! Then we come to fear of the Lord! Yes their is some of a actual fear because He is God but it is more of a awe and great respect. Worship is not important, we throw God's name around in vain, we disobey His commands, and it shows we have no fear of God!



Oh my brothers and sisters how we need a love for the bible and a fear of the Lord in each of our lives! Until then don't expect God to hear our nations prayers or for that matter the individuals prayer if they are not doing these two aspects of our faith!
