Psalm 86:11
Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
I think I understand what a divided heart is.
There is room in my heart for only one God. The Almighty God, Creator of the universe, is the highest authority. He alone is God. But many times we humans want to be God. We know what God wants us to do, but we want to choose our own path. We make our own decisions without his guidance.
A divided heart has trouble focusing on the path because there are two options. His way and our way. Since we don’t know what the future holds, we often make choices that lead us to disappointment and despair.
An undivided heart makes one choice and sticks to it. Trusting God to show us the right path when we can see only two steps in front of us is sometimes scary. But an undivided heart will be focused on God’s path. Faith tells us to follow God even if we can’t see the path.
When we look back on our journey and see where God has led us, everything seems to make sense. We respect God more when we see how trusting him always works out for the best. He proves his word is true and his path is right, but we must give him the chance.
Yes, Lord, teach me your way.
The Fear Of The Lord, part seven
Proverbs 14:27
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
Building a relationship with God on the foundation of a deep reverential respect is what will turn the possibility of failure into the opportunity for success.
We are given a lifetime of choices which determine how rocky or sweet our road will be. How we make those choices is guided by our relationships. We learn from who and what we see.
Who surrounds your life? Do you pick friends who will lift you up or drag you down? Do you invite God to be a part of your life everyday or a few times during the year? Who do you see most often and what are you learning from them?
The fear of the Lord is an attitude. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a way of gathering what we need to make good choices.
When we pull from large deposits of wisdom and knowledge which we’ve received from the heart of God, our earth experience can be full of life. But when we stop seeking God and turn away from his wisdom, we turn away from life. Turning to God with a deep respect turns us away from deadly mistakes.
Our attitude of respect for God is a place not to visit, but to stay. It helps us enjoy life.
Keep seeking him.

The Fear Of The Lord, part six
Ps 25:14
The Lord confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
When someone shows deep respect for God, a reverential respect that flows naturally from his heart, God pays attention. He wants to speak to us, but he waits for those with an ear tuned to his words.
Listen to the world around you. Listen to how everyone treats the name of God. Some people use his name as a curse word, some as an exclamation of surprise. This isn’t showing respect to God, or in other words, the fear of the Lord.
If I went through my day using the name Mary, Bob, or Rufus D. Frankenheimer as some people use the name of the Lord, I would get all kinds of strange looks. Am I the only one who sees how weird that is? No one asks if you’re praying when you use God’s name without speaking to or about him.
I’m not amazed when those who disrespect God complain that God doesn’t speak to people. I’m not amazed that they can’t hear the daily guidance God wants to give us. When you treat God the way anyone wants to be treated – with respect, that perks up his ears. He notices that you’re interested, you’re listening to him, you’re willing to respond to him.
Who would you confide in? Personally, I’d rather confide in those who show respect.

The Fear Of The Lord, part five
Ps 103:11, 17
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him…
…from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children…
I’ve noticed that some families share the same sense of humor or the same cooking skills or the same ability to sing. It’s given from one generation to the other through a long line of descendants. Have you seen a kind person and then met that person’s parent who’s also very kind? Kindness probably was a family tradition for them.
People who acknowledge God as their Heavenly Father can come together as brothers and sisters in a very large family. None of us is the same, yet we all possess the same family trait: the fear of the Lord.
Since we, as God’s children, fear or revere or have high respect for him, we can see how God pours his love on us throughout the generations. We tune our senses to notice him in our lives. We can see his family receiving the love of a father in so many situations. We see him as Protector, Healer, and Guide. He cares about us because we are his family.
But our limited minds can’t conceive of the greatness of his love. So we use words that mean “really big”. The psalmist tries to give us a picture of God’s big love for us, “for as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love.”
Growing up in the comfort of a loving family will probably flow down through the generations beyond my children. I’ve seen my older relatives showing signs that they have felt loved by their parents too. It reminds me of the book I used to read to my children before bedtime. Guess How Much I Love You has stuck in my daughter’s mind so that to this day she still competes with me about how big our love is for each other.
I imagine God listening to our fun competition and answering each of us with his own, “I love you more.”

The Fear Of The Lord, part four
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Didn’t we read last week that the fear of the Lord was the beginning of wisdom? And now we’re reading that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge?
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of many things. You can build a strong, rich faith when you start on the foundation of the fear of the Lord.
Knowledge is a key ingredient to a rich and full life, but you must mix it with plenty of wisdom and discipline. Stir well. Let it bake in the presence of the Lord until done. Then serve.
Building on top of the fear of the Lord is easy because he gives us the ingredients and the tools we need. You can build a tall wedding cake that won’t topple if you’ll just receive from the one who has all knowledge.
Fear the Lord. Respect his ways. When he gives you something, ask him to teach you how to use it. Remain willing to learn, and be amazed at how well he teaches.

The Fear Of The Lord, part three
Ps 111:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
We admire those who are wise among us. Most of us want to be thought of as wise. But where do we go to get more wisdom when we run out?
We go back to the basics.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning or the foundation of anything good. You build on top of a healthy respect for God. Once that foundation has been laid, the steps toward wisdom can begin.
Wise people have understanding. The truly wise have been following the precepts or laws of God. His precepts were laid out for us long before we were here. It’s our job to find them, read them, follow them. God is the one who grants us the understanding.
If we desire wisdom and understanding, we must look closely at the word ‘beginning’. When we acknowledge that God is to be feared with a deep reverential respect, we begin the development of wisdom in us. It grows like a seed. Unseen, but active.
Our consistent attitude of obedience to God’s laws and our consistent fear of the Lord feeds the growth of wisdom. Over time, the fruit of our consistency is visible and useful.
Another verse that comes to mind – and fits well with the above – is Proverbs 13:10. “Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.”
Fear God and let his guidance rule in your life, and then wisdom will grow.

The Fear Of The Lord, part two
Psalm 130:3-4
If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness;
therefore you are feared.
For many of us, the weight of sin is heavy. It burdens our walk with undue strain.
We don’t need to walk through our lives under the heavy burden of sin. Not when God is standing by, waiting to forgive. He wants to lift our load, but we hold on to it. We struggle and wonder why life is so hard.
For those of us who have allowed God to take away our sins, it’s like an enormous boulder has been lifted off our backs. I can straighten up. I can walk upright. I can dance in the presence of the Lord who has freed me.
If God took an accounting of our sins by watching us try to manage under the weight of it, no one could walk. We couldn’t even stand. We wouldn’t be able to lift the load from each other because our own load would be too much for us to even move.
But God forgave us. He took the sins of the whole world on himself.
That’s a lot of weight. But he’s God, and he can manage it. He threw the whole package into Hell where it belonged. That’s why God is feared.
He did what no one else could. He is respected for his awesome power to lift our sins and destroy their hold on us. God is feared because of his desire to remove the sins that we committed against him, knowing we would sin again.
When we see that God doesn’t number, categorize, record, and store up our sins, his love is revealed. When we see that his forgiveness is sure, we gain a deep reverential respect for God called, the fear of the Lord.

The Fear Of The Lord, part one
Proverbs 14:26
“He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress,
and for his children it will be a refuge.”
Developing a relationship with God is a construction project. It goes slowly, brick by brick. One day you’ll look up to see how much you’ve contributed to the relationship and find that God has contributed too.
As you work at your relationship, you find that there’s more to it than you first assumed. It’s more than just work or responsibility. It’s actually fun.
Maybe time gets away from you during prayer. You stop looking at your watch to make sure you spend enough time praying. Soon, you have to set a timer to make sure you leave the place of prayer to get your other duties done. When you realize that you’re not focused on one little brick anymore, your construction project takes on new meaning. It’s bigger than you thought it could be. It isn’t just a brick wall; it’s a fortress.
While you work on this fortress, you might find your hidden wounds are being healed. God is a great healer. You can trust him with all the secret places of your heart. Building a relationship with God is a blessing that brings deep joy. A joy that heals places only God could touch.
God blesses the efforts of the humble and diligent. It’s hard to build a secure fortress when all you do is talk about it and plan it. Those who put in the work, get to see the finished product.
I’m in the habit of sharing my faith in God with my children. I’ve prayed with them and for them. I won’t be holding their hands for the rest of their lives, so I’ve done what I could to point them to the one who will be with them forever. My relationship with God shows them that God is consistent. He’s constantly with us. My hope is that anyone who watches me will see God.
Your relationship with God will be evident even to your children. So keep working on the most fulfilling construction project you will ever work on.
Keep seeking God.

Learning From God And Realizing It Later
Read Luke chapter 24. This is the story of Cleopas and his friend who were on the road to Emmaus.
The two men were talking about the recent death and "possible resurrection" of Jesus when Jesus himself came up and walked along with them. But they didn't recognize him. They told him that some from their group had gone to his tomb and it was opened, but they hadn’t seen the Lord.
Jesus explained the scriptures to the men, but they were still kept from recognizing him. When they approached the village, they urged Jesus to stay with them because of the late hour. He went with the men, broke the bread, and disappeared as soon as they recognized him.
How must they have felt, knowing they had Jesus with them the whole time and only knew it was him just before he left? Of course, I’d be elated that I was given the opportunity to visit with him. Wouldn’t you love for Jesus to explain the scriptures to you?
They had just arrived in Emmaus, but they jumped up and went straight back to Jerusalem. Apparently, the late hour didn’t bother them so much then. They were sped along by the new energy inside them from the encounter. The Lord had risen indeed, and they had actually seen him. They had good news, and they wanted to, no they had to share it.
Once back with the other disciples, the men explained what happened. While they were speaking, Jesus appeared there with them.
Can you imagine Jesus popping up at your next Sunday School party and joining in the conversation you’re having about him?
But we have to remember that God is with us right now, wherever we go. And he can explain the scriptures to us. There have been times when I’ve read a portion of scripture and I became awestruck as the words became more understandable. They took on deeper meaning. God reminded me of other scriptures I already knew that related to what I was reading.
God meets us where we are and strengthens us as we seek to understand him better.
So keep seeking him.

To Hear Him Like Mary
In Luke 10:38-42, Martha opened her home to Jesus. Her sister, Mary, sat at his feet, listening to what he said - instead of helping Martha prepare a meal. When Martha complained, Jesus simply answered her with, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Mary knew where to go to hear words of life spoken by God. Many times, our busyness keeps us away from him. Even when we get in our “servant mode”, we can still miss God.
In order to hear from God, we may have to re-arrange a few priorities. Maybe miss a couple of meals. Jesus was able to supply their meal without Martha’s help, but she couldn’t see the possibilities. All she knew was that it takes more than one woman to feed a room full of men.
Setting aside the plans and preparations may be our first step to hearing from God. When he’s ready to speak, we have to be willing to stop and listen.
Thanks, Mary, for setting a good example for us as we continue seeking God.

Written In Stone
I'm sure you've heard someone say, "These are suggestions. They're not written in stone."
We all know something that was written in stone. God crafted the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) without editing and rewriting. He carved them in stone with His finger, according to Exodus 31:18.
But do we treat them as if they were suggestions?
Sure, it's easy to keep most of them. "Today, I think I'll keep the commandment about not murdering."
However, we find a few of them a little harder to keep all the time. What if your parents haven't acted in honorable ways? Is it okay to not honor your mother and father if they've been dishonorable?
This reminds me of the time God wrote not in stone, but in sand. He asked if any of the onlookers was without sin.
Yes, we should obey God. We should honor our parents because God said to. We are not without sin. We shouldn't expect our parents to be. Honoring them in obedience to God is one way to honor God.
When we go to God with the plea, "Give me a sign", we should expect Him to remind us of the sign He carved out of the mountain. If we take His commandments seriously, He is able to lead us back to Himself. But seeking Him will always be unfruitful if we are unwilling to follow His leading.
We should read the signs already laid out for us, and continue seeking Him.

Seeing God's Message
When we pray, we sometimes ask God to show us an answer. Often without realizing it, we have our expectations set on a certain range within which He should move. We draw a box in the sand and ask God to write the answer in it. In an effort to help us see Him, He lets a wave wash the box away.
I love reading about Peter in the Bible. He wasn't very different from us. He loved God and wanted to obey, but human limitations colored his expectations.
In Acts 10:9-23, we read about Peter's vision. God gave clues to what was about to happen with Cornelius. Peter didn't have all the information yet, but he was warned not to call impure what God has made clean.
When we have clues from God, whether in a vision or from scriptures, we have to do the work of applying God's message to what He sends our way. I say "do the work" because it isn't always easy to do. God asked Peter to do something that was unusual, but had to be done because of Peter's calling.
Do you have a unique calling that requires something unusual? Has God given you clues to help you with your calling - and you feel like you don't have all the information yet?
Be patient. Do the work of applying God's message to what He sends your way. When you see God's message, know that there's a responsibility associated with your calling. And you are able to do what He's asked.
To be successful, you must keep seeking God.
