THOSE WHO FEAR GOD

September 08, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Eccl8:12 But even though a person sins a hundred times and still lives a long time, I know that those who fear God will be better off. NLT

I have listened to several people who wonder why the ungodly are richer, confortable and even live longer than the righteous. The comparison sometimes would almost make a hero out of wicked people and spark envy but I later discovered that there is no basis for comparison and envy at all neither should you desire to be like the ungodly in success.

Those that fear God are always better and would always be better said the bible. You don't need to start comparing yourself with an unbeliever; when you see the ungodly succeeding, it is just for a while. There are many men of yesterday that are not relevant to day because they got their wealth and frame wrongly.

To fear God is to have reverence for God. Those that reverence God cannot but enjoy God's peace and joy. The man you're comparing yourself with maybe having sleepless night. I read about a rich man that told a man of God that he couldn't sleep, he has a body guard even in his bedroom because of fear but when you see this man outside, many want to be like him and they'll envy him.

Those that fear God are better and would always enjoy peace and Joy- something greater than money.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to walk with you in total reverence In Jesus name. Amen
