God’s Word for Today

9 Apr, 2025

The reward for humility and fear of the LORD

is riches and honor and life.

-Prov 22:4 ESV

BE HUMBLE AND FEAR THE LORD

Proverbs are not absolute statements that guarantee results. For example, a doctor might say, "Eat healthy food and you will live longer," and the patient knows this will not make them immune to all diseases or accidents. In other words, poverty, dishonor, and death may happen to the humble. The reality about the apostles having suffered

Those who act according to the ultimate truth are more likely to succeed and less likely to suffer negative consequences than those who participate in sin.

“For whoever finds me finds life

and obtains favor from the Lord,

but he who fails to find me injures himself;

all who hate me love death.” (Proverbs 8:35–36)

“Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,

but the companion of fools will suffer harm.”(Prov 13:20).

To "fear" God is to recognize how great He is and act accordingly. The "fear of the Lord" is to revere, but it is not an abject terror. True reverence drives out pride and fills the heart with humility. For example, when Isaiah caught a glimpse of the Lord in heavenly glory, he exclaimed, "Woe is me! For I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts" (Isa 6:5).

In the New Testament, when Peter saw Jesus perform the miracle of providing an abundant catch of fish, he said, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord" (Luke 5:8). To "fear the Lord" is to believe Him and submit to His control (Prov 1:7). This fear of the Lord does result to spiritual blessings, such as spiritual riches, the honor of membership in God's family, and eternal life. Could there be greater blessing compared to these?
