Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. Psalm 34:9

 The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Science and Security Board just released this year’s Doomsday Clock prediction, putting us at 90 seconds before midnight. A number of things is considered in their decision, the worlds security level, climate change and breakdown of social norms. At no other time in history has the Doomsday clock been this close to disaster. If I raised your anxiety level, I apologize, but the truth of the matter is, this world is truly headed towards some form of disaster and it’s time to wake up to whom you should really fear.

 Today’s scripture talks about fearing the Lord. A healthy fear, or understanding of God should move you to live a more God honoring life. The decisions you make, the things you do, words spoken and your obedience to God, all fall under that respect for the Creator of this Universe.  When you acknowledge whose really in charge, God blesses your life and provides the necessities to sustain your daily life. This world has nothing to offer but heartache and anxiety. Trusting God with your life is the only way to stay anchored in this troubled world.

 Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me, you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

 The peace of God transcends all understanding. Put your faith and trust in Him by fearing Him, respecting Him, worshiping Him and giving Him all your worries. When you do, your life will be enriched and your needs met. God bless!
