Posted by Jonathan Merigala We read in Scripture that Jesus grew in wisdom from his childhood.
Even though we expect young people to do foolish things, because they are young, yet Jesus never did anything foolish when he was young.
Make Him your example, and you will be saved from doing many foolish things in your youthful days.
In Proverbs, it states that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Jesus prayed for help to be saved from spiritual death, and his prayers were heard because of his godly fear.
God loves us as He loved Jesus. So your prayers will always be heard if you fear God as Jesus did.
God gave Abraham the title of a “fearer of God” when he was ready to sacrifice his only son.
Abraham obeyed God all by himself on that mountain. He wanted God alone to see his obedience. God had spoken to him one night when he was alone. No one knew of the command God had given him, but he still obeyed.
It is in the things you do in secret that you will discover whether you fear God or not.
Personal Reflection:
What are other examples in the Bible of individuals who feared God?
