FEAR THAT BRINGS WISDOM

NY Subway crimes these days are escalating beyond control! It has caused a crack on even the most confident soul!
Gadgets usually brought out for display and use have now been reclined to the safety covers of carry-on bags.
The daring boldness of daylight robbery can be attested by the weary looks of passengers with fears shown.
Just a more-than-a-second-look at another prompts a closer grip of personal belongings alone!

Fear!
That terrible, yet inevitable reality of our existence!

Fear!
Completely unavoidable even with foreknowledge assistance!

The void of uncertainty isn’t really the birthplace of this crippler.
One thing for sure is it is, without a doubt, a character definer!

 Ironic that the scriptures boldly declare the fear of God as the beginning of wisdom;
You see, fear only has all the power that you give it!
On one hand, it can cause the throwing in of the towel, and on the other, a revealing of the truth about our debilitating humanity!

Is it wise to only fear what can kill the body and not more, what can kill both the body and the soul?
What do you think drives us to prevent death by any means necessary when the truth is it is beyond our control?

So, here it is:
Fear that brings the acceptance of truth;
That births a need to plan as early as the days of your youth;
That makes you change what can be changed
And accept what cannot be;
That unveils the reality of uncertainties;
And yet split the curtains for you to see –

After all planning is done for the future, to still commit yourself to Christ, the one true Savior
Whose fear is the opposite of the world’s –
A fear with a definition that relieves even in the subways or wherever it might find you;

One that opposes the other which creeps up on random –
The fear you should really embrace: The beginning of wisdom!

IN AN ENDLESS TRADITION OF GOD'S WORD AND THE MIRACULOUS!!!
