Today’s Blog: What Lenses Are You Wearing?

TODAY’S PROVERB: The reward of humility and fear of ADONAI is riches, honor and life. Proverbs 22:4, TLV

I was thinking, there truly is a great reward in seeing life through the lenses of humility and the fear of the LORD. Living a life where we understand how great our Heavenly Father is, and how every blessing comes from Him, allows us to walk this life in pure gratitude and wonder.

The combination of humility and and holy fear builds our faith and trust. Why? Because we know that we can’t pull ourselves out of anything on our own. We can’t redeem ourselves. The talents and abilities we have were hardwired into us at conception — and add to that, that He planned it from the beginning.

Wearing the lenses of humility and holy fear means we rest in a place of understanding and peace. Entitlement would seem foreign to us. Our ability to walk in wonder in a fallen, broken world will seem like naivety to others. But, who cares! We’re just glad to be alive and loved by the Creator of the Universe!

All around us are souls hungry for this type of joy and peace. We can “feed” them with the revelation of our amazing Father and His love. Our sacrificing Savior who gave everything for us. Our Counselor who guides and directs us.

We can show them the way because we see it and live it.

May we wear the lenses hand-fashioned for us by our Father, my friends.
