Proverbs 19:23
The fear of
the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall
not be visited with evil.
The fear of
the Lord is to be consistently concerned with what the Lord’s evaluation of
situations is. We need to be in a place
where we are always attentive to the Lord’s rightful position in our
lives. He is the One we get our total
and complete authority from. It is His
value system, His priorities and His purposes we must be concerned with. This will lead to life. Our choices that are in line with His will
brings life and the natural decay of a life lived apart from His influence will
not occur. We will abide satisfied when
we walk in the fear of the Lord. We will
enjoy what we have when we are looking up.
We will not be visited with evil.
We will be so enthralled with the Lord and our relationship with Him
that even if evil came knocking on our door, we won’t hear it and let it come
in and visit. We will be abiding
satisfied and content because we are enjoying the fellowship we have with
Him. When we are full we don’t hunger
for other things. Oh Lord, cause us to
desire to please and honor you more than any other sort of desire that we might
have life, abide satisfied and not be visited with evil.
