'The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death'
(Proverbs 14:27).
The Bible teaches that, "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"
(Romans 6:23).
Eternal life is connected to Jesus Christ, and when we accept him by faith and allow him, through the power of the Holy Spirit to live in us, eternal life is guaranteed. Christ is our life-giving fountain, therefore, He should be the object of our fear. We should always be in awe when we think of Him and when we worship him, because of who he is. When we revere the Lord, and accept him as our Fountain of life it will enable us to depart from the snares of death, which sin brings. Christ is the living water that flows and all who partake of it shall never thirst again, but shall be a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (See John 4:14) Sin brought the sentence of death upon all of humanity, but Christ came and rescue us, by shedding his precious blood for all, allowing us a second chance to escape the snares of death - the second death which He took for us. We have a part to play in our salvation; we must accept God's grace by faith in his Son Jesus Christ. We need to fear the Lord, the fountain of life. It gives us security and strong confidence in Him. Let us be encouraged to live in the fear of the Lord, that we can receive His peace, his comfort and his purity. To be confident that His well will never run dry, because in it flows the Living water - Christ himself. He is inviting you and me to come and drink of this living water, where we will thirst no more, but will receive an abundance of comfort, joy, and serenity. This will be life to our souls and will help us fight against temptations and sin but will lead us to eternal life with Christ.
Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend🌹🌹

'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
