The Lord is Good! While listening this morning to God, I had trouble hearing him. I knew he wanted me to start the writing with, “The fear of the Lord is …,” but that is where he stopped. So, I just started to read the bible. Within a minute or so, I decided that I need a highlighter to start marking up the bible that I have had for over a year. Why right then and there, I don’t know (it seemed weird that I needed it NOW). I put down my readings and got the highlighter and then went back to Proverbs but lost my place. I decided I would start of Proverbs 9 and while reading I saw—The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. I just laughed. God had provided me a new way to find verses. So, I asked God what he wanted to tell his children, and this is what I heard…

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. For the Lord determines where your soul goes (upon death). By your actions, he sifts the wheat from the tares. Everything you do and say becomes part of the whole picture, of where you belong. It is imperative to change your ways if not following God’s directive. Earth is your training ground to show your true self (some say when there is adversity, one will become who they truly are). Some will find their way to God’s Kingdom and others faulter along the way. Change is necessary to get closer to the Creator. One must “want” to change to accomplish the righteousness that God expects from his children. Ask for God’s help when you feel you cannot do it on your own. God will make a way for you, if you are sincere and ready for change.
LynL Examples when God came thru with prayer. These three instances come to mind when I prayed and got almost immediate results. These were not easy solutions and needed God’s intervention.
1. I drank too much when I was in my 20’s and 30’s. I had two small children and asked God to help me rid myself of drinking (at the time I knew there was a God, but did not know who the true God was). Within a week I became allergic to alcohol. I could hardly speak if I drank. I ran a business which relied heavily on me answering the phones and helping customers. I knew God answered my prayer. I stopped drinking completely and had no withdrawals. A few years later I ordered a “virgin drink” (no alcohol) but was served one with alcohol. I took two sips and knew it was alcoholic. For the next month I could hardly speak. To this day, I do not drink.
2. When I knew God was my Savior, and I was trying my best to represent him, I asked if he would change my body temperature. I was always wearing shorts and clothing that kept me from overheating. But I knew innately that this was not what God wanted me to wear. I prayed to him, “If you want me to represent you properly, please change my body temperature so I am not warm all the time.” Within a week I started getting cold and immediately needed to buy long sleeve shirts, pants that were warm, sweaters and knits. Previously I had only 1 or 2 long sleeve tops in the closet that I never wore.
3. After about 8 years of getting close to God (I was not getting prophetic writings from him, that I knew of at the time). I cried out to him, “I can’t hear you, what am I going to do when things get really bad out there?” The following day, in the evening it was a very windy night. I was on the freeway, and I heard audibly a voice, “SAY, Jesus Save Me.” So, I repeated “Jesus Save Me (with a questioning voice).” All of a sudden, as I was passing a large truck on my right, a big box flew under my car wheel. God had shown me that I can hear him when I need to and showed me, he listens to all my prayers.
All of these examples show that when you are sincere and ask something that is important to you, God will consider changing what needs to be changed. Prayer is your conduit to change, hope, and righteousness.
