| The fear of the Lord The fear of the Lord is evident and present in people who have a strong and personal relationship with God. A child as young as five can fully grasp the meaning of the fear of the Lord. Today, are we hungry for more of God? I believe that God allows trials, illness, struggles, failures, and even persecution in our lives to challenge our faith. Are we going to fully trust God with the fear of the Lord, or are we going to allow circumstances to determine the outcome? A person, who walks with the fear of the Lord, knows and trusts that God is in control of the circumstance. A person, who walks with the fear of the Lord, knows that if he or she is faced with persecution knows that God has a reason and purpose. However, without a relationship with God, a person is completely lost, stressed, confused, uncertain, and scared about the future. Even the most confident person will be lost without God. Psalm 19:9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| The fear of the Lord. As we begin a new series, I am praying that this series will be a great connector to my previous topic on maximizing time. In all honesty, if we were 100% obedient to God, fearing God above man, we would be great at maximizing time. All throughout the Word of God, He talks about the fear of the Lord. God is speaking directly to us. How would we ever know what God is saying to us if we never read His Word? Psalm 19:9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. The fear of the Lord is pure, which means we cannot fake it. It endures forever! God’s commands, rules, and regulations are sure and altogether righteous. The fear of the Lord is trust. If we cannot trust, then everything that God has set before us because uncertain and we do not think God is righteous. I am praying and believing that this series on The Fear of The Lord, will remove the thorns that causes us to not fear God, and not trust Him. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| Maximize your time on earth. Jesus did and He only lived for 33yrs. Our time on earth is very short. We have a choice to maximize our time to the fullest and do everything that God has called us to do, or we can watch people live their life to the fullest. As I conclude this series on maximizing time, I hope that we will not wait any longer to find out what God wants us to do in our life. In my opinion to live life not knowing what God wants me to do, is very scary. Scary because it is easy to get confused, it is easy to get side tracked, and there is no clear direction ahead. God made each one of us with a clear purpose, with a clear plan, He even equipped us specifically so that we can fulfill His plan. God spent so much time creating us, why are we waiting? Why are we stalling? Today, I pray and hope that the fear of the Lord will be instilled in each of us. Psalm 19:9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| Prayers for the youth and marriages – 28 Nov 2008 Habakkuk 3:17-18 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. | |

| Praying For The Nations and for the poor – 28 Nov 2008 I Corin 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength. | |
| #61 In the name of Jesus we pray for the Lord your weakness is stronger than our strength. Help us recognize that no matter what, Your glory will shine upon this nation. Today, we humble ourselves that we can be used to help this nation and its people find You. May the purpose of the Lord be revealed today.

| Maximize your time on earth. Jesus did and He only lived for 33yrs. Imagine if everyone in this world was driven to maximize time for the Lord. The World would definitely be a different place. Today, God is challenging each one of us to raise the bar, raise the standard, to not waste anymore time, and start taking action. Jeremiah 46:3 Prepare your shields, both large and small, and march out for battle! We have to start preparing our shields. If God is saying to you to get in the mud, get dirty, and walk in places of darkness for the Lord, then are you obeying? The Lord says that only a few walk though the narrow gate, and the majority walks through the wide gate. Which one are you? On a constant basis we must ask ourselves and have a self check, If God came today, would I be ready or am I totally unprepared? Being unprepared is saying to God, I didn’t have enough time to reach out to that person, God you didn’t give me enough time to fulfill that purpose. Ephesians 6:16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. We have to realize that being efficient and effective for the Let us raise the bar today. Let us not waste anymore time. The day of the Lord is unknown, are we maximizing every single day for the Lord? © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |
