Word of encouragement

​Fear of the Lord
We must fear the Lord with a reverent fear. We must also respect those in authority over our lives even though we don’t understand some things. Christ wants the Glory in our lives. There is nothing a man can do or flesh can do to substitute what Christ has designed for His will. It is important also to recognize Christ when He is present even when the person He uses you may not particularly get along with. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. Sometimes it is easy to miss what the Lord is revealing because you’re looking at things the wrong way. You’re not always looking at the person/vessel but listening by the Holy Spirit comparing spiritual with spiritual. The Lord will use whoever and whatever He wills in order to get a point across whether it be for obedience, humility, or repentance. Don’t wind up missing the Lord because weren’t done your way. Nothing is done on our own power and our own authority when doing the will and purpose of Christ. So, sometimes we must humble ourselves and recognize the Lord in others or he may consider it that you are rejecting him the same way the pharisees and scribes did thousands of years ago. The Lord will show mercy to whom he will and compassion on whom he will.
 
Proverbs 14:26
In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
