Proverbs 13:13 (NIV) - Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it, but whoever respects a command is rewarded.
Despise instruction (God's Word) and find yourself in trouble. Obey it and succeed.
—Proverbs 13:13
As Christians, we have the Spirit of God in us. But ours is the responsibility to keep sin out of our lives so that the Spirit can produce His fruit in us. Become grounded in the Bible. As Christians, we have only one authority, one compass: the Word of God. Abraham Lincoln in a letter to a friend said, “I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this Book upon reason that you can, and the balance upon faith. You will live and die a better man.” Begin the day with the Book; and as the day comes to a close, let the Word speak its wisdom to your soul. Let it be the firm foundation upon which your hope is built. Let it be the Staff of Life upon which your spirit is nourished. Let it be the Sword of the Spirit which cuts away the evil of your life and fashions you in His image and likeness.
Prayer for the day
Almighty God, Your Word nourishes my whole being and I praise Your holy name!
Billy Graham
Holy Fear
by Charles Spurgeon
"He that feareth the Commandment shall be rewarded." - Proverbs 13:13
Holy awe of God's Word is at a great discount. Men think themselves wiser than the Word of the LORD and sit in judgment upon it. "So did not I, because of the fear of God." We accept the inspired Book as infallible and prove our esteem by our obedience. We have no terror of the Word, but we have a filial awe of it. We are not in fear of its penalties because we have a fear of its commands.
This holy fear of the commandment produces the restfulness of humility, which is far sweeter than the recklessness of pride. It becomes a guide to us in our movements: a drag when we are going downhill and a stimulus when we are climbing it. Preserved from evil and led into righteousness by our reverence of the command, we gain a quiet conscience, which is a well of wine; a sense of freedom from responsibility, which is as life from the dead; and a confidence of pleasing God, which is heaven below. The ungodly may ridicule our deep reverence for the Word of the LORD; but what of that? The prize of our high calling is a sufficient consolation for us. The rewards of obedience make us scorn the scorning of the scorner.

An Old Picture, the Same Passion
The picture on the right is 8 years old. The passion written on the wall off my left shoulder is still the passion of my heart. If your heart belongs to Christ, I hope your passion for His word continues to grow. Bible scoffers are all around us. But those who love Jesus, know the wonder of His word. They know that there are no end to its depths. They know that lives built on the words of God…
