 'Who among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God'
(Isaiah 50:10).

The fear of the Lord is not a fear of His wrath to come, nor His terrible judgment. It is a reverential affection for God, a godly fear of Him.
Isaiah asked the question, "Who is among you that feareth the Lord? That is, who among you that fear the Lord, and his goodness; who humble themselves and have faith in Him.
We must be in awe when we think about God and his goodness, his providence and majesty.
When we experience the fear of God, we will hear his word and be submissive to the will of God.
Isaiah is saying to us, that if we have faith and believe in Christ and fear Him, because it's through his grace by faith in him that we are saved.
Who is it... that walks in darkness, and have no light? Though for a while we may walk in darkness and have no light, but when we trust in the name of Lord, we shall be comforted.
If we truly obey the voice of God's servant, and is willing to be ruled by Jesus Christ, as his servant, in doing the great work of man's redemption; we do well and please God.
When we truly fear God we will obey the voice of Christ, its as simple as that.
We sometimes walk in darkness, having no light, even though we might fear God and obey him. Those actions should not be an everyday occurrence, but it may be in occasion when our joy in the Lord is not complete and is interrupted; our spirit becomes crushed and we yield to the trap of temptation, Satan presented in our way. Thank God, we are admonished by the prophet to trust in the name of the Lord; in His goodness, his power and his wisdom. Let us but run into God's strong tower, as we depend upon him for protection and deliverance. Let us seek the All-sufficient God and stayed upon Him, calling upon our Father as Christ did on the cross.
We ought not to put our  trust in man or ourselves, but in the true and living God. The Lord's name is above all other names, therefore let us take hold of it.

Have a wonderful day

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
