Fear Of or Having Fear

[S] Isaiah 33:6 --
6 And He will be the stability of your times,
A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge;
The fear of the LORD is his treasure.

[O] Whatever comes to mind very first after waking up from sleep in the morning is most likely what I fear the most.  Why?  Because as I begin a new day, I want to overcome any obstacles getting in the way and so I would think about how I may plan my day around them.  How to schedule so many activities, manage so much tasks at work (knowing that I won't get through all of them), etc.  In light of this, if I turn my eyes toward God first, then I am actually turning to Him who is greater than any obstacles I will ever face and my fear of the Lord is actually positioned in the right priority.

[A] This fear of the Lord is not because I am scared of Him, but out of respect and honor that I fear Him before any other.  It is the awesomeness of His presence that just brings me to my knees to worship Him.  I want to worship Him just like that throughout the day.  And starting the day with a time with God will be essential in making that happen.

[P] Dear Father, instead of seeking my own ways of stability, may I first seek to fear You from the moment I open my eyes in the morning until I go to sleep at night.  I want to bring out You and You alone in my life throughout the day.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
