*THE POWER OF POSITIVE FEAR* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God"* (Genesis 42:18 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
"...For I fear God"
Ecclesiastes 12:13 (KJV) counsels us as follows *"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."*
This is the WHOLE duty of man! That's to say, there is nothing that God expects of man than that MAN FEARS GOD and keeps his commandments!
Joseph could have gotten back at his siblings who maltreated him, left him for dead, and sold him off to slavery, but HE FEARED GOD!
Joseph could have slept with Potiphar's wife, but He FEARED GOD!
Joshua 24:14 (KJV) reminds us as follows: *"Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD."*
Every believer has crossed the floods and have escaped Egypt. Before the flood and within Egypt, you don't have need for the fear of God. No, you don't. Anything goes in Egypt and before the floods. But once you have crossed the floods of the red sea, and have escaped Egypt of worldliness, you MUST embrace the fear of God.
Mark this! The evidence that you have crossed the floods of the old man and escaped the corruption of Egypt, and slavery to sin, is the PRESENCE OF THE FEAR OF GOD IN AND UPON YOUR LIFE!
_MEDITATION:_
*"Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent."* (Acts 13:26 (KJV))
