Prov 22: 4 The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor for life.
The word "fear" in this text comes from the original "ראה", (pronounced "yir-aw") which also means "reverence". Please know this: our beloved Creator does not ask to be "feared". Fear blocks the flow of Spirit in our lives! Our Creator is the very essence of Love and when there is complete Love, there is complete Trust. When Trust is total, there can be no fear.
So Proverbs 22:4 is saying that if we tune in to Spirit through reverence, we also tune in to riches and honor that will last all of our lives. And you know what? Billions of people the world over are proving this either positively, or negatively, at this very minute! The Fruits of the Spirit in your life are Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, Goodness and Self Control.
When we allow negative thoughts, feelings and acts to rule our lives, we demonstrate all the opposites of what we really want. For all of us, all the Children of God, (whether you want to know it or not, not a single one of us stands outside the Love of the Creator) these opposites are the real enemies: Hate, Sadness, Strife, Impatience, Unkindness, Cruelty, Unfaithfulness, Corruption and Licentiousness.
Be honest now, where do you think you really stand? On the Positive or on the Negative side? If you answer this truthfully, you will immediately also know for sure why these things are happening in your body and in your circumstances right now! This is a fact: we are all demonstrating the Fruits of the Spirit all the time - either negatively or positively, (or a little of both, as most of us do in our lives).
YOU are in the driver's seat! You can change your direction completely! It's as quick as snapping your fingers. Discipline your human mind. Don't be afraid! Choose the POSITIVE right now and see your life change dramatically for the better - and far sooner than you think.
Please share with us the wonderful change in your life as it begins to manifest, as it SURELY will! It's easy. Just click "Comments" below.
