This fear, is a true reverence for God by a changed heart. The dynamic is unique. On the one hand, you understand your place before a Holy God. On the other hand, when you understand, that God wants relationship with his creation, it causes you to draw near, and want to please him, because he cares and loves for you. It is life changing thing.

While the unbeliever may make statements about life and truth, he does not have true or ultimate knowledge until he is in a redemptive relationship of reverential awe with God. Note the progression here: 1) teaching about God; 2) learning about God; 3) fearing God; 4) knowing God; and 5) imitating God’s wisdom. The fear of the Lord is a state of mind in which one’s own attitudes, will, feelings, deeds, and goals are exchanged for God’s (cf. Ps 42:1 ).
His promises never fail!

Taken from MacArthur study Bible
the Lord is faithful. Cf. La 3:23 . God is faithful in regard to creation ( Ps 119:90 ), His promises ( Dt 7:9 ; 2Co 1:18 ; Heb 10:23 ), salvation ( 1Th 5:24 ), temptation ( 1Co 10:13 ), suffering ( 1Pe 4:19 ), and here faithful to strengthen and protect from Satan (cf. Jn 17:15 ; Eph 6:16 ; 1Th 3:5 ).
A beautiful picture of what the church body should be to one another.

Have you not seen, have you not believed? This world was no accident. EVERYTHING in this World, has a Creator. He is the one true God, who’s heavens cry out to his majesty. His love is so great for us, that he sent his only son, Jesus, to rescue us from our own destruction. If you don’t know him, come and seek him with all of your heart, and you will find him. He will be your God and you will be his son or daughter.

It is our HEART, that the Lord is interested in, not checking off a box, that WE did something right before him. When we humbly bow down before him, he lifts us up! It is him who must work through us, not We, ourselves. Thank you Jesus, that you gave us your helper, your Holy Spirit, and your word, to guide and direct us. ❤️

Deliverance in the past was nothing, compared to what the messiah would bring to Israel, as well as to the gentiles. Jew or Gentile, we can sing praises both now, and forever. Our Gods plan will not be stopped, by anything in heaven or on earth!

For those who have been praying, my brother-in-law, is in ICU, at the hospital. They seem to have stabilized him, but don’t know the status of his oxygen level yet. Than you for the prayers. He is a faithful roller of Jesus, and as I said above, God’s plan for him, will not be thwarted.
God will walk us through whatever comes our way.

It was a rough night. Woke up feeling weird, around 3 am. Checked my sugar and it was 80. That’s low for me. Struggled to go back to sleep, finally dozed off around 4am. Woke up to a text and almost turned my phone off. Looked instead and it was my sister in Iowa. My brother-in-law has COVID and has had severe symptoms with fever and fluid on his lungs. Now, his fever had shot up to 105. Started praying and pleading with God to show grace and mercy to him and Psalm 23 came to my mind as I asked God to intervene. Finally just got up at 5:45 and opened my Bible app and guess what Bible verse popped up. This one. This is not a me thing cause I prayed, but surly a God thing. As I opened the app, a text came in and my sister was saying the temperature has gone down. Praise God! I don’t know the outcome but God does. Please pray for him. His name is Kent. I never had a brother, but he is like one to me.
The widow and the Orphan. A beautiful demonstration of Gods love, to those who cannot give back, just as God did for us. Sacrificial love, is at the heart of what God did for us. He didn’t have to do it, he wanted to because he Loves us.

Pure and undefiled religion. James picks two synonymous adjectives to define the most spotless kind of religious faith—that which is measured by compassionate love (cf. Jn 13:35 ). orphans and widows. Those without parents or husbands were and are an especially needy segment of the church ( see notes on 1Ti 5:3 ; cf. Ex 22:22 ; Dt 14:28 , 29 ; Ps 68:5 ; Jer 7:6 , 7 ; 22:16 ; Ac 6:1–6 ). Since they are usually unable to reciprocate in any way, caring for them clearly demonstrates true, sacrificial, Christian love.
