The fear of the Lord is not a dreaded emotion of terror rather a righteous respect of the awesome wrath of the jealous God. An all-consuming love for the Creator which brings constant awareness of proper perspective. Understanding that His love far surpasses any experiential knowledge held of the verb. Knowing that humans are humans and incapable of meeting, fulfilling or satisfying the only love provided by The One Who Created.

Abundantly Beyond

Prosperity is holding us captive.  That was the gist of what he was saying right there at the end.  After speaking of the yoke of Jesus being easy and the burden light because He takes it all on Him and we don’t have to carry it any longer.  Leaning on Him and letting Him bear the weight because after all He can handle it much better than me.  But is there recognition of the lack of weight associated with Him carrying that great load or is there a constant tugging to keep it on my shoulders?  Does the abundantly beyond have so great a measure that I forget Who actually carries the load and bears the burden in order to provide the abundantly beyond any comprehension within my miniscule mind?  Too great a thought to think!

Am I really consumed with consumption to the point of forgetting where all that I consume came from? 

Still too great a thought to think?  Yes, for me.

He desires me to recognize His abundantly beyond.  Not that I can begin to comprehend the height or breadth or depth or vastness of it all but that it is His.  That it is all Him.  That the very breath breathed cannot be inhaled or exhaled without Him allowing it.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.  Ephesians 3:20-21 (NKJV)
