Daily Devotional. A Wise Man will Hear, and will Increase Learning ; and a man of Understanding shall Attain unto Wise Counsels: The Fear of the LORD is the Beginning of Knowledge: but fools despise Wisdom and Instruction. Turn you at My Reproof: behold, I will pour out My Spirit unto you, I will make Known My Words unto you. But whoso Hearkeneth unto Me SHALL DWELL SAFELY, AND SHALL BE QUIET FROM FEAR OF EVIL. Proverbs 1:5,7,23,33. If a Believer is Teachable and somewhere down the road he learns something with some error in it, and the Lord is able to Correct him from that error and into Truth, you have a person Hungry for the Lord, and MORE of the Lord. This person is Walking in the Fear of the Lord and “SHALL DWELL SAFELY, AND SHALL BE QUIET FROM FEAR OF EVIL”. This “Fear of the Lord” is not walking on eggshells afraid that any minute now “God’s gonna getcha”, no, it’s a Believer Walking in the Confidence that (s)he’s moving WITH the Lord and unknown to that Believer, OTHER people have a fear of messing with that Godly Believer. That Believer is Walking, TOTALLY COVERED IN THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, and not even aware of it. Satan sees the Armour and heads off in a different direction taking Deception with him. SPIRITUAL harm doesn’t even try. (Be careful here). PHYSICAL harm to that Believer will ONLY be “allowed” when it will ultimately Benefit the Believer further into Christ AND God Receives all the Glory. Otherwise “harm” can’t happen just because “harm” WANTS to happen. Bottom Line, NOTHING touches you, except it goes through the Throne Room FIRST. Nobody said we get out of here with “all parts intact”, but we DO get out of here Safely and into the Loving Arms of Jesus. That’s a FEARLESS Life in Christ and the Apostle Paul is a “perfect” example of that. The Lord ALLOWED many things to fall upon Paul to Grow him even more in Christ, so don’t you be looking for a “Painfree” life, IT AIN’T HAPPENING. To Live a Fearless Life in Christ, what a Wonder-filled Way to, Be Blessed.
