Today I was studying Proverbs 9:
Proverbs 9:10 really stood out to me especially because of the commentary I was reading. Proverbs 9:10 says the reverent and the worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy one is insight and understanding.
The commentary that I was reading went on to say that:
1. To "fear" is to respect God so he must be 1st place in your life
2. God is more important than anything in your life: your job, friends and family etc.
3. When we make decisions we must review and identify whether our decision brings honour to God
Also... another one of my favourite scriptures is...2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV) We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
I love this scripture because it shows that Christ reigns above all things negative and evil. The battle in the mind is real and as our mindset controls our behaviour it is important to submit it all to God. There is no space for doubt, anxiety, unbelief, anger, depression, irritation, none of this should override our joy in Christ.
Nai do not settle for anything but joy in Christ, do not try to exalt anything positive or negative above your God. God is above everything, God is everything.
If you feel that something is trying to exalt itself over God, do not let it. Submit it to God in prayer and keep it moving.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV) says always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
Lots of Love xxx
