Well, I am glad to report that God answered our prayers as in today’s court hearing I was declared innocent and the restraining order was taken away! We are very happy with this and thank God for giving us a careful, thoughtful and thorough judge. Thank you for your prayers.
Psalm 19:9 “The fear of the LORD is pure,”
[To obey you, Lord, out of reverence, out of awe and fear takes us in the direction of genuine holiness. It moves us away from the selfish pollution of the world, from our old sin nature and the wiles of Satan.
To obey you moves us towards truly fearing you–that is, caring deeply what you think about our issues and actions, our thoughts and words–while helping us fear the negative consequences of following our own reasoning.
To fear you, God, not man, to obey you while rejecting the fear of man–this leads to purity. The “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe” (Prov. 29:25).]
Help us to determine to fear you every day, in every decision so we can please you by faith and bring honor to your name.
