Faith's Checkbook (By: C.H. Spurgeon)
Fear Has Its Place
Happy is the man that feareth always.
~ Proverbs 28:14
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning and the foundation of all true religion. He is happy who feels a jealous fear of doing wrong. Holy fear looks not only before it leaps, but even before it moves. It is afraid of error, of neglecting duty, of committing sin. It fears ill company, loose talk, and questionable policy. He who foresees evil and escapes it is happier than he who walks carelessly on and is destroyed.

Lord, this is my prayer for You today, that I will always walk in a Holy Fear, and by worldliness.I pray that someday I will be able to fully serve You, without have to keep looking over my shoulder making sure that the enemy doesn't catch me worshiping You.I pray that after all my schooling is done and over that I will be able to be reunited with family mother and sisters.Then my children will be much older and I will be able to do much more than just pray for people, I can start practicing healing people spiritually and physically. This I pray You, in Jesus' Precious Name,Amen!
