I consistently marvel during my meditative reading of the Scriptures each day.  In continuing to dig deeper into the meaning and life application of the concept of “The Fear of the LORD” I am finding a consistent call to humility and yielding my life and my will to the LORD’s will as revealed in the the Scriptures.  The rich blessings and rewards for those who will humble themselves and fear the LORD are the things that every human being craves for their life but rarely experiences them or enjoys them.  The lasting riches, true honor, and abundant life that God desires for each and every person can only be found and experienced in true humility and fearing the LORD.  This morning we will work on examining three of the countless blessings of fearing the LORD.  First, we will introduce the lesson by quickly reviewing the meaning of fearing the LORD and defining humility.  Next, we will delve into a brief study of true riches and the wealth that is enduring.  Thirdly, our attention will be focused on what is true honor and what is its source.  Finally, we will consider what it means to enjoy life abundantly as Jesus promised to those who love and obey Him.
