« Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, »
1 Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.
4 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7 Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts.
9 Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth.
We started discussing the fear of the Lord yesterday and today we will look at some of the blessings that come to those who fear Him.
Our memory verse (NLT) says
« But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love »
The Scripture above reveals a very huge blessing that comes from fearing God.
The blessing is that the eye of the Lord will be upon everyone that fears God.
- This revelation implies several great things amongst which is that when the eye of the Lord is upon an individual, safety is guaranteed.
Hebrews 11:6 says that God is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
The Bible further says, Proverbs 15:3NASB
« The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Watching the evil and the good »
In other words, the eye of the Lord sees everything– even the plans and moves of the wicked who want to harm you and He knows how to deal with them.
In today’s Bible text we are enjoined to fear the Lord above all gods because they are ordinary works of men, Psalm 96:4-5 .
We should also note that some people have made human beings their gods – probably for fear of what these people could do to them.
Psalm 56:11NKJV however, says
« In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? »
Psalm 118:6NKJV says also,
« The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? »
Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us to fear God and not man, Matthew 10:28.
Another demonstration of the fear of the Lord is in verse nine of our text:
« “O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before Him, all the earth” »
There is no true worship of God without holiness.
This is where those who overstretch grace miss it.
Obedience is synonymous with holiness and the Scripture says to obey is better than sacrifice, 1 Samuel 15:22.
Therefore, we must watch out for our worship – whether it is premised on the fear of the Lord or mere hypocrisy.
As you commit to fear the Lord at all times, His presence will never depart from you, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer focus – Father, please put Your fear in me and let me receive the blessings for it, in Jesus’ name.
