Follower of One : Missions For The Rest Of Us

The main idea of this podcast episode is that fearing the Lord is the most important thing in life. This means living our lives in a way that reflects his character and doing what he says. When we fear the Lord, we are a blessing to others and we will be praised by him.

The passage for today is Proverbs 31:30, which says, "Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."

The author of Proverbs is challenging us to remember that we are not God and that we should put him first in our lives. When we do, he will make us to be praised and rewarded.

Fearing the Lord does not mean that we are afraid of him or that he will punish us. It means that we give him reverence and awe, we respect him, and we do what he says.

The wisest thing we can do is what we believe Jesus would have us do, even if it ends up not working out the way we thought it would. This is how we learn and grow closer to him.

When we fear the Lord, we are a blessing to others. We reflect his character and we do what he has called us to do.

The speaker's prayer is that we would all ask God what he would have us do and then go do it. This is how we show that we fear him and follow him.

Fearing the Lord is the most important thing in life because it leads to a life that is pleasing to God and a blessing to others.
