BLUF - Bottom-Line/Up-Front Series #3

RAISE UP - Really Awesome Is our Savior's Eternal Uplifting Presence

Fountain of LIFE and FEAR (of The Lord) Prolongs LIFE....Two amazing Concepts that, all too often, I misunderstand the vital importance.   We know so well that our WORD that we share can bring Healing or hurt, Joy or jealousy, Renewal or rebuttal.  

Yet here we see that God's WORD Transforms The WORD to us Providing us that long sought after "Fountain of Life".  

Then FEAR of The Lord - I've pondered on the FEAR of The Lord via other PJP2 Postings before.  It is a Concept The Holy Spirit continues to Pull me Back to.  When we see/read the word fear, I know at least for me, the image that pops into my noggin' is one of my cowering in a corner, trying to find somewhere to hide, perhaps running for all I am worth away from the 'thing' that I am fearful of.  Yet, as He Always Does, our Lord Jesus, His Holy Spirit, and God The Father takes that which we cower from, And In His Loving and Grace-filled Hands, He Transforms that which would harm us, into That Which Brings us Closer To Him and His LOVE.  Thus FEAR of The Lord for me is Transmogrified (as Calvin/Hobbes would say) into.....

FEAR....Faithfully following, giving Esteem/Exaltation, Adoration/Awe and Reverence/Respect to Him, our Lord and Savior.

Indeed, Two Concepts that Renew, Restore, Revive us and Bring His Encouragement and HOPE into our Hearts once more.

My Prayer for us today - O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Thank You for Your Love and Amazing Grace.  Lord Jesus, Help us, Lord, to Listen and Heed Your Righteous WORD that Brings Healing and Help to our Lives, Hearts and Souls.  Holy Spirit, May we Ever Faithfully follow You, Giving You our Total Esteem and Exaltation, Adoration and Awe, and Every Ounce of Reverence and Respect we can.  Father God, Empower us to Ever Share and Reflect Your Saving Grace to those who do Not Know You yet as Lord and Savior.  Lord Jesus, we Raise Your Name in Worship, and Share our Prayers with You.  Amen and Amen....jaj
