God Rewards Those Who Honor Him

What does the phrase “fear the Lord” mean? Are we expected to cower with fright in God’s presence or live in continual terror and dread?

Fear in this sense is the appropriate response of rebellious unbelievers who flaunt God’s decrees. Having rejected Almighty God as a merciful Savior, they now face the grim prospect of meeting him only in his role as the holy Judge of the universe. One the other hand, for the beloved children of God — those whose sins have been forgiven by Christ — “fear the Lord” has a different connotation. The idea for believers is that of awe or stunned admiration in the presence of a great and good Creator. The implication is submissive reverence before a loving Lord, to worship God above all other things. It involves, in the words of the passage, the commitment to “seek” him.

Notice that the promise to those who fear the Lord is that all their needs will be met. Or, as God puts it in another place, “Those who honor me I will honor” (1 Samuel 2:30).

God’s Promise to Me

*I meet the needs of those who honor me.

*I make sure my followers have good things.

My Prayer to God

You meet the needs of those who treat you with reverence, Lord. Forgive me for the times I fail to honor you. You are the majestic king of the universe — high and lifted up. As I trust in you, you fill my life with good things.

" John 10:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  The thief does not come except to steal,  and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way.

"Allah menciptakan manusia itu menurut gambaran-Nya, menurut gambaran Allah diciptakan-Nya dia, laki-laki dan perempuan diciptakan-Nya mereka" (Kejadian 1:27) Pada dasarnya secara alamiah kita memiliki jati diri yang secara naluriah terbentuk dan membentuk kita menjadi seseorang dan bukan menjadi atau mengikuti jati diri orang lain, terbentuk menjadi seseorang yang memiliki kejujuran, memiliki bentukan karakter tersendiri dengan ciri khasnya, memiliki integritas yang tinggi, memiliki keyakinan baik terhadap kemampuan diri maupun khususnya terhadap Sang Pencipta, memiliki kasih di dalam hatinya dan tentunya yang tidak kalah penting adalah adanya kesetiaan dalam dirinya, walaupun terkadang kesemuanya ini disamarkan, seolah-olahtidak mereka miliki, dan terbentuk seolah-olah mereka mengabaikan hal ini dalam bentukan yang mereka anggap sesuai dengan diri mereka sendiri,
