DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conrad Murrell preaches on the importance of fearing the Lord,
emphasizing that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and a
guiding principle for a righteous life. Those who fear God need not fear
anything else, as God Himself will teach, guide, and choose the way for
them. While the Bible provides righteous principles, specific details
for everyday living may not always be explicitly outlined, but those who
walk with God can trust that He will order their steps and bring ease to
their souls. The seed of the righteous, born of the Spirit, will inherit
all things and abide forever.

"What man is he that feareth the LORD? Him shall he teach in the way
that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall
inherit the earth." (Psalm 25:12-13)

There was a time not too many years ago when a believer was described
simply as a "God-fearing man." That was before modern thought struck
upon the idea that it was dishonoring to the mercy and goodness of God
to fear Him, and the shallow "God loves everybody all the time anyway"
mentality began. The Bible teaches that the fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom. A person who fears God simply thinks of God first
and foremost in all his actions, the governing factor being a desire to
please Him. It is the motivating emotion that dominates the righteous
person's life.

The person who fears God need fear nothing else. He who does not fear
God must fear every other threat, for he has no substantial defense.

The person who fears God will learn, for God Himself will teach him. He
will be guided, for the Good Shepherd will unerringly lead him. He will
be taught in the right way to go, the right things to do and the right
decisions to make.

Many people erroneously expect God to give us a road map, a set of
exhaustive instructions so that when any matter comes up all we need do
is get out our road maps, or our rule book, our procedure manual, and go
ahead. Not so! If that were true, we could take these and walk off from
God because we would need Him no more.

Those who fear God, walk with Him. We, indeed, have the Bible which
gives us righteous principles, but as for specific details for our
everyday mundane living, often we can find no specific directions in the
Scriptures.

God will choose for us at the time the choices we need to make. He shall
choose our way for us and cause us to walk in that way. Few things are
more comforting to the Christian than knowing that the Lord has ordered
his steps. That is what is meant by, "his soul shall be at ease." He is
not in a fizz and tizzy all the time wondering if he has made the right
choices.

The seed of the righteous are those who have been born from above,
begotten by the Spirit. They shall abide forever and inherit all things.
