The Fear-of-God is a shield that protects you from poisoned ways in life. If you respect Him and His counsel, you’ll be pointing to a good direction; you’ll have a deep understanding of reality; your mind will be sound; you’ll live with mercy and integrity. You’ll be building a safe place full of life where you will be living.
The Fear-of-God is a spring of living water
so you won’t go off drinking from poisoned wells.
28 The mark of a good leader is loyal followers;
leadership is nothing without a following.
29 Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding;
a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity.
30 A sound mind makes for a robust body,
but runaway emotions corrode the bones.
31 You insult your Maker when you exploit the powerless;
when you’re kind to the poor, you honor God.
32 The evil of bad people leaves them out in the cold;
the integrity of good people creates a safe place for living.
(Prov.14:27-32MSG)
Prayer: Thanks God for giving me the Fear-of-God. This way you protected me from harm. Help to lead in life with a deep understanding, sound mind, being kind to the poor, and with integrity. Let Your wisdom flow through me to my household and to all the people around me.
