Trust the Lord, Fear the Lord, Honor the Lord

Sessions 21-22

Most of us know the importance of having mercy and of having truth.

Most of would like to have favor with God and with man.

Three Keys to having mercy and truth, and having favor with God and with man.

Trust in the Lord, Fear the Lord, and Honor the Lord.

It may sound simple and straightforward, but look at what King Solomon had to say about this.

Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
(Proverbs 3:3-9)

Trusting the Lord means not leaning on your own understanding, and being willing to acknowledge Him and submit to Him in ALL areas of your life.

Fearing the Lord involves departing from ALL evil.

Honoring the Lord involves giving Him using ALL your possessions in the way that He wants you to, and giving to Him the first portion of your income and profits in life.

Wow!

A tall order and a total cost, but a tremendous blessing!!

Yours in Him,
