We need to protect our hearts!
Wisdom wrote by The Holy Spirit in Proverbs chapter 8:
12 “For I am Wisdom, and I am shrewd and intelligent. I have at my disposal living-understanding to devise a plan for your life.
Who better to devise a plan for your life?
13 Wisdom pours into you when you begin to hate every form of evil in your life, for that’s what worship and fearing God is all about. Then you will discover that your pompous pride and perverse speech are the very ways of wickedness that I hate!”
In other Words, the Fear of the LORD is to hate evil. HE hates pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
14 “You will find true success when you find Me, for I have insight into Wise plans that are designed just for you. I hold in My Hands living-understanding, courage, and strength.
Many strive for the world’s success which is only temporary in nature. For no sooner do they start counting their wealth than it sprouts wings and flies away like an eagle in the sky—here today, gone tomorrow!
15 I empower kings to reign and rulers to make laws that are just.
16 I empower princes to rise and take dominion, and generous ones to govern the earth.
Who will rule and reign on earth when the Kingdom of GOD comes forth? The generous ones!
17 I will show My Love to those who passionately Love Me. For they will search and search continually until they find Me.
18 Unending wealth and glory come to those who discover where I dwell. The riches of righteousness and a long, satisfying life will be given to them.
19 What I impart has greater worth than gold and treasure, and the increase I bring benefits more than a windfall of income.
20 I lead you into the ways of righteousness to discover the paths of True justice. 21 Those who Love Me gain great wealth and a glorious inheritance, and I will fill their lives with treasures.”
Holy Fear keeps us connected to FATHER’S Wisdom which in turn keeps the wellspring of Life flowing through us.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:
16 Live happily together in a spirit of harmony, and be as mindful of another’s worth as you are your own. Don’t live with a lofty mind-set, thinking you are too important to serve others, but be willing to do menial tasks and identify with those who are humble minded. Don’t be smug or even think for a moment that you know it all.
I have found that my own opinion is limited to the point of being worthless when I consider the Wisdom and understanding associated with being led by The Holy Spirit. It is vital that we walk in humility and know our soul’s limitations.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 2:
12 My Beloved ones, just like you’ve always listened to everything I’ve taught you in the past, I’m asking you now to keep following my instructions as though I were right there with you. Now you must continue to make this new Life fully manifested as you live in the Holy Awe of God—which brings you trembling into His Presence.
What will result?
13 God will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to do what pleases Him.
As we experience the Holy Awe of GOD, we will make pleasing HIM our highest priority.
And he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.
As we focus on the peace of GOD, we will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
