Day 22: Psalm 2, Proverbs 20:25-27, Acts 2, Amos 7-8
God Will Bless Those Who Fear Him
"..they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles." Acts 4:42-43 NKJV
Yesterday, we saw how as we have the fear of God, we will humble ourselves to seek God to examine our hearts so that our worship to our Beloved Father, Son and Holy Spirit will be genuinely from our hearts, lest unacceptable by Him. Today, we learnt from the early Christians how when they continued steadfastly in the teaching of the Apostles, faithfully devoted themselves to fellowship, prayers and breaking of bread, the fear of the Lord would come upon them and they experienced signs and wonders. Yes, there are many blessings for those who fear the Lord. In Luke 1:50, it says, "His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation" and Proverbs 1:7 says, "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge..". Most importantly, we must fear God out of love and not love Him out of fear as advocated by St. Francis de Sales, destined by his father to be a lawyer but eventually became a Bishop of Geneva.
