Psalm 19:9 ” The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous.”

Fall in Illinois is beautiful foliage…for the trees are ablaze with red, yellow and orange leaves.  Fall is also harvest time for the farmers…bringing in the crops of corn and soybeans out of the fields.  As I look at the beauty around me, I can only thank God for His majesty and creative work.  And as I stand in awe and reverence of His faithfulness and love for His people, it reminds me it’s this reverence…this fear of the Lord that is crucial in our Christian walk.  For it tells us in Isaiah 33:6, “He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.”   Being in awe of God’s creation and thanking Him for it is not groveling at His feet…it’s simply admitting there is Someone a whole lot bigger than me in control!
