Rewards of Holy Reverence – Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
“Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times and strength of salvation; the fear of the LORD is his treasure.” (Isaiah 33:6)
My dear friend, today the Lord is going to bless you with so many blessings. My granddaughter Katie is celebrating her birthday today. Let me put the blessings of today’s promise verse on you dear friend and also on Katie. The promise for this day is from Isaiah 33:6. This verse says: “Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times and strength of salvation; the fear of the LORD is his treasure.” Proverbs 1:7 says: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
There was a king named Hezekiah, who ruled the land of Judah. King Hezekiah literally despised God’s wisdom and instruction. He even never bothered about the presence of the Lord. When the king of Assyria came against him in war, he took the treasures of the temple of God and gave them to that king because of the fear of man. In II Kings 18:15-16, The Bible says so. He never cared for the presence of God. However, the Bible says ‘if you hear the Lord, he will give you wisdom, knowledge, and salvation.’
The Lord Jesus had special anointing like this. Because he feared God, Jesus was blessed with the special anointing. In Isaiah 11:2, The Bible says: “The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD.” Today, I pray that the Lord should give you such special anointing. Come let us pray for it.
Prayer:
My loving heavenly Father,
I thank you for the promise word that you have given me today. I commit my life to you. Give me the grace to always fear you and walk in your ways. As you have promised, bless me with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Let your special anointing come up on me. I thank you Lord for you are going to bless me in this manner.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
