"Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he hath done for you."
1 Samuel 12:24
Your only duty on this earth is to “fear the Lord…” When you fear (honor, revere or admonish) the Lord your life is lived in total submission to Him… This means that you walk according to His will and are not focused on things of this world… This passage provides great advice for us to live by; we are called to “serve him in truth” knowing that He knows best but also bringing into remembrance all the things that He has done and the paths that He has paved… We have to have an attitude that reflects on what God has done and dispel the notion of living with the mindset of “what have you done for me lately…” According to worldly standards and ways of living, we must approach life seeking our own way and desires; however, we are reminded today that we serve a faithful God; one who already demonstrated His might by sending His son and one who has promised to supply all our needs…
Don’t lose sight of this fact. God has already done enough; however, he continues to do more as evident by the very breath you take while reading this devotion. It is only by and through Him that you and I are here today. Just take a moment to think about all the hardships you have faced and then think about how you have made it through… I am sure that there have been days when your finances didn’t add up, your money was funny and your change was strange; however, you still were able to cut that check or make that payment… God is above all and knows all… Fear Him, revere Him and stay focused on Him…
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
