“BUT HE WHO LISTENS TO ME SHALL LIVE SECURELY AND WILL BE AT EASE FROM THE DREAD OF EVIL.” PROVERBS 1:33
With such busy lives it is very hard to take time and meditate on each and every word of God. It seems that time does not allow us to sit down and pray earnestly, meditate and listen. I have learned over the years that it not only takes time, but it also takes faith. We must believe what we are reading in the Word of God. We must be able to understand how to listen to our God and we must believe that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. We must believe God’s word is not a history lesson but is a way of life. How do get to this stage in our relationship with our Lord? We must pray and ask him for his help. Ask him for wisdom, understanding and strength in your life. Go through the bible and learn his promises and memorize them. Be willing to profess his promises out loud in your times of need and worry. This will do nothing less than help you to build up your faith in the Lord and his mighty word. This will help you not to dread evil but to live secure lives. There will be two judgements at the end. One for the unbelievers and one for the believers. The unbelievers will be judged for their sins, but the believers will be rewarded for the works they have done for the Lord. You see, we don’t use works to get into heaven, but we do use works to bring others to heaven with us. As a believer we must stay alert to the voice of the Lord and what his plan is for our lives. We must listen and be workers for Christ Jesus! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
