Psalm 34:7 The [a]angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.”
We want to be delivered, so, what does it mean to fear the Lord? Let’s give a rating from 1-10 with 10 being the highest for some activities. First, quoting a quitting verse to fight temptation I rate a 10. Second, praying over a group of quitting verses I rate a 10. Third, reading a chapter in the Bible daily = 5, reading one in the Old, plus New Testament = 6, 3 Chapters =7, 4 = 8, and 5 chapters daily = 10. Fourth, quoting, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” =10. Fifth, quoting, the verse that says to “Work out our salvation with fear and trembling” = 10. Sixth, believing the harsh Bible verses that tell us the consequences of our actions = 10. Seventh, thinking often about what the verse, “The wages of sin is death” means. I think it means that something dies, or partially dies, or begins to die every time I sin. When we consider what this verse means we are fearing the Lord.
Eighth, sometimes I think that the only time I am thinking God’s way is when I am doing my 5 chapters of the Bible daily.
Finally, I highly recommend memorizing Psalm 34:7. As always, feel free to print this out if desired for your own personal use.
What steps will you take to make this promise become a reality?
