Proverbs 1:7

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7

To what extent; how far do you have to fall?

At what point will you finally turn to God and say, "Okay, I'm wrong. I'll do it Your way!"?

Don't wait too long!

"Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, they would have none of my counsel and despised my every rebuke. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled to the full with their own fancies. For the turning away of the simple will slay them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but who ever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil." Proverbs 1:28-33

What would you give to live in peace?

What price would you pay?

Can you even imagine living without fear of evil? To know that you will dwell in safety and be secure; what a concept!

"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3

We have learned that verse, but how many of us live it?

"Whose mind is stayed on You"!  That's the key!

When we focus our mind on our LORD, we give no place to the enemy!

When we seek Him with all our heart, we will find Him and we will dwell with Him.

The more we know Him, the more we fear Him, the more faith we have.

Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we have the ability to go boldly, and dwell safely with the King of the Universe, where no evil can befall us - but how many of us do?????

Give yourself over to God!

Put down pride! Put down self! Stop making excuses! Listen to yourself! "That's fine for her, but I could never . . . !"

Humble yourself before God! Repent!

Don't wait too long, because God might just give up on you, because you gave up on Him!

God loves you! He sent His Son to die for you! And yes, His mercy is everlasting!  However, a day is coming . . .

Repent, while there is time!

Even so - MARANATHA!
