Daily Devotional

Son, there are two types of fear you will face in your life time. The first is when you think to yourself, “Someday my fear will get me.” This type of thinking results in escape, running away, becoming frantic. The results are: you will lose.

 

The other type of fear is the fear of Me. This type of fear is the foundation of true wisdom because everything I do reveals My glory and majesty. My righteousness never fails. How joyful are those who fear Me and delight in obeying My commands.They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust Me to care for them.They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly. They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor. The wicked will see this and be infuriated, and grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away when their hopes are thwarted.

 

Son, I am going to tell you what is going to happen, not to bring the wrong type of fear in your life, but the fear of Me. For all of My predictions will come true, and this is why I am telling you beforehand what I am going to do.

 

America has said, “I will reign forever as queen of the world!” She does not reflect on her actions or think about the consequences of her actions. So listen to this, you pleasure-loving kingdom living at ease and feeling secure. You say of yourself, “I am the only one, and there is no other. I will never be a widow or lose my children.”  You feel secure in your wickedness. Your wisdom and knowledge have led you astray. So disaster will overtake you, and you won’t be able to charm it away. Calamity will fall upon you, and you won’t be able to buy your way out. A catastrophe will strike you suddenly, one for which you are not prepared.

 

Son, I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you and will lead you along the path you should go. So listen and obey My commands, and you will have My peace flowing like a gentle river and My righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea.

 

Lord, I have no choice, for You have given me this sacred trust. Therefore, I must run the race that You set before me. I must run to win and every step I take is important.
