\"\"<\/a>Fear God and Nothing Else!<\/strong>
\n\u201cFear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell\u201d (Matthew 10:28).<\/i><\/p>\n

Here Jesus helps us understand \u201cthe beginning of wisdom.\u201d Inside every one of us is a battle between \u201cself and selfless.\u201d Pride and humility. Love and hate. Give, keep or take. Everything is fine when it\u2019s going our way. We can even convince ourselves we are doing the better thing instead of doing the \u201cright\u201d thing! We are more concern about the temporal things of this world and how they effect our lives, than praising the good things that effect the eternal condition of our souls. Keeping this commandment helps us guard our hearts, monitor our thoughts, and measure our words. As recorded in the final verses of Ecclesiastes (12:13-14) and supported later in the book of Romans (14:12), \u201cwe will all give an account to God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gracious Father, Help me to be reminded daily of my Lord\u2019s commandments. So that I may truly worship You. I know that fearing You, as Jesus commanded is the greatest teacher to knowing your love. Oh to know Your love more! I will not fear the temporal powers of this world, for Your love will sustain me and Your grace is enough. Through Christ, my Lord and Savior I pray, Amen.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
