MGD: Fear God

Shallon beloved, thank you for tuning into today's morning glory devotion.

Facilitating today's session is Amanda Baidu from her vest Shapel

International Dnamiko Marsi. Please let's pray Father. We thank you

so much for today. We thank you for this opportunity

to hear your word. We ask glad you make our

hearts fatteral to receive this word and let the Holy

Spirit help us to apply it in our lives. Since

Jesus' name, Amen, belave it. Let's take her confession from

the Book of just Shut chapter one, verse eight. This

book of the Law shall not leap us out of

my mouth, but I shall meditate in it day and

night that I may observe to do according to all

that is written in it. For then I will make

my way prosperous, and then I will have good success. Amen.

Our topic for today is titled Fear God, and our

scripture reading is taken from numbers Chapter thirteen as one

to two and chapter fourteen, verse two to three and

twenty to twenty four. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

send men to spials the land of Canaan, which I

am giving to the children of Israel, from each tribe

of their fathers, you shall send a man everyone and

leader among them. And all the children of Israel complained

against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them,

if only we had died in the land of Egypt,

or if only we had died in this wilderness, Why

has the Lord brought us to this land to fall

by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims.

Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt,

So they said to one another, let us select a

leader and return to Egypt. Then the Lord said, I

have pardoned according to your word. But truly, as I live,

all the earth shall be filled with the glory of

the Lord. Because all these men who have seen my

glory in the science which I did in Egypt and

in the wilderness, and have put me to the test

now bees ten times, and have not heeded my voice,

they certainly shall not see the land which I saw

to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected

me see it. But my servants Caleb, because he has

a different spirit in him and has followed me fully,

I will bring into the land where he went, and

his descendants shall inherit it. Amen, Fear God, beloved. The

whole duty of man is to fear God and keep

his commandments. Our God is merciful, loving and kind, and

he is also fearful, a fearful judge who deserves all

of our reverence. The story is told of ten Israelites

who went to the Promised Land to spy in numbers

shaps are thirteen to fourteen. They came back with fear

and an evil report. Contrary to the promise God had

given them. They rebelled against God by trusting their own

thoughts and solutions, and even thirteened to kill Caleb and Joshua,

who are insisting on God's promise. Because of this, the

Lord punished them, saying they will never even see the

land I swore to give the ancestors. None of those

who have treated me with contempt will ever see it.

Numbershops are fourteen, those twenty four beloved. The story of

the spies is a reminder that it is a fearful

thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

We have to know that though He has chosen to

reconcile us to himself with his son, he is not

our co equal. He is still God, and we are

mere men. God is greatly to be feared in the

assembly of the saints, and to be held in reverence

by all those around him. The fear of the Lord

is the beginning of wisdom. We are not equal with God,

and therefore we must be conscious not to allah pride, familiarity,

or ignorance. Make us treat God with contempt, dishonor disobedience.

Vain talk, unbelief, and irreverence must not be part of

our lives as believers. God is king, and he must

be worshiped as such, with songs of praise, a humble heart,

childlike faith, and a servant's attitude. We must be careful

in our conduct and our approach to God's word, God's people,

and God's world. It is because of the messes of

the Lord that we are not consumed every day. Beloved,

we are not entitled to anything, but He freely gives

us everything. His mercy, his grace, his salvation, the life

he gives us, provision, protection, and love are all free

gifts that He constantly showers us with, and we have

a duty to respond with gratitude, humility, and reverence. Let

us repent of the ways in which we have shown

contempt to God, and humble ourselves before Him in our lives,

as speech, our conduct, and our service. For He is

worthy to be praised. Beloved, Fear God, Worship him acceptably

with reverence, and awe for his consuming fire shalom our memory.

Verse is taken from Proverbs chapter three, verse seven. Be

not wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord, and

depart from evil. Amen. Please, let's pray. Father, We thank

you so much for this reminder that we are not

your code equal, that you are far above us and

high in the heavens. We thank you, Father that because

of your great love, you have chosen to join it

to us. We thank you for this reminder that we

must respond to this choice so God, with reverence and

with holy fear, that we must repent of our ways,

the unbelief that this honor, the irreverence that we constantly

show you, and the contempt. Please help us, o, God,

to repent of these evil ways, that we may draw

close to You even as you allow us to come.

We thank you for this reminder, and we pray that

you continue to fund the flames of intimacy between us

and You throughout the day. And throughout our lives in

Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you so much, beloved for tuning

into today's morning glory devotion. Kindly stay tuned for more

spirit failed content and have a wonderful day. Shalom.
