some good thoughts here, go have a read…
My pastor mentioned the other day that he loved to see people proclaiming their righteousness because he could always tell if they were sincere by whether their walk, matched their talk. This made me stop and think. Maybe I’ve got some walking to do, and a lot less talking…
What about you?
Does your walk meet your talk?
Ps 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
recently i’ve been praying for wisdom and discernment. i want to grow in my relationship with God into a more mature christian and i want to be able to serve him better! i was reading ps111 this morning on the way to work and it just hit me - i don’t really fear God.
growing up in a christian family and being churched all my life has been an awesome thing in a lot of ways, but i think that i’ve been in danger of becoming too comfortable with God - familiarity breeds contempt, or at least indifference.
if i want wisdom, i need to fear God! that doesn’t mean i have to quake and tremble every time that i think about God, but it does mean that i need to approach him with a lot more awe and reverence.
if i’m aware of God all the time, i will live differently! i will be a lot more focussed on glorifying him in how i live, and i think that would be the beginnings of wisdom…
