The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge Proverbs 1.7. The beginning of wisdom (9.10) that leads to life (19.23), prolongs days and hates evil. (8.1 & 3). Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; Old things are passed away ; behold all things are become new. If he then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God. Set your affections on things above, not on things of earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Continue reading Colossians 3.1-17. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom (V16). And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the father by Him. There is no other way but His. (V17)

Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face evermore Psalm 105.4. Seek the Lord for He is not far from each one of us; it is in Him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17.27-28. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness Matthew 6.33. Spend time today with the Lord, seek His strength and His righteousness.

There’s a great day coming by and by and perhap sooner than later. It will be a great and glorious day for the faithful of God, who have fought the good fight. For those who have loved and obeyed the Lord while here on earth. But for the sons of disobedience including those who once knew God but later rejected His ways, it will be a a sad and dreadful day. The faithful servant on that day will hear the Lord say, “Well done good and faithful servant.”but the disobedient and unfaithful will hear “Depart from Me, I never knew you.” Will it be a great and glorious day or a sad and dreadful day for you? Are you ready for the Lord to come?

Be not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation. Romans 1.16. For in the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith as it is written, the righteous shall live by faith. Romans 1.17. The gospel is the righteousness of God revealed. Do not be like the Jews who rejected the the gospel thinking thry could have salvation by their own Jewish system of morality. Only God, who is our sovereign ruler has the right to set the way of salvation separating those who will be saved and those who will be lost. Through the death of Jesus, the door of forgiveness has been open to all the world, to all who will obey His gospel. Christ died so we might live! There is no other way but His. See John 14.6.

There was a time not that long ago when men committed their evil sinful acts under the cover of darkness, hating the light because it exposed them. See John 3.19. Today, like Sodom some seem to take pride in their sinful ways and rather than try to hide them they openly declare and support all kinds of wickedness and supporting those who say evil is good and good is evil. God help us!
