*DAILY DEW 5TH/NOVEMBER/2021* *KEEPING THE BODY BALANCED* (V) _Key Bible Text:_ *By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.* (Hebrews 11:7 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The love of God in the fear of God Believers who try to discountenance the Old Testament or simply ignore it, are still unschooled in the word of righteousness. To truly know Jesus, you must SEARCH the scriptures. The scriptures does not only comprise of the New Testament. Hence, by referencing that IT WAS AN ACT OF FAITH that Noah moved with fear in building the Ark, the New Testament has successfully adopted and established the doctrine of the fear of God for believers in Christ Jesus. Believers must move with fear at the word of God. God is too great and holy for us to do otherwise. The more of Him we know, the more of His love we grow and the more reverence we hold for him. Maybe, knowing a man may not strike us in this way, but knowing Christ more, should definitely strike us, with as much love for Him as fear for Him. Just as interestingly, Noah moved with fear in preparing the ark and arrived at faith. Likewise as we move with fear in obeying the word of God, it does not only result in faith, but we arrive at more love for God. *The outcome of true fear for God, which drives us to more obedience to His word, is greater love for Him as we see the wonder we become in Him.* This sort of fear, is what makes the Word of God the means by which God chastises His beloved children. The man whom you do not fear, even his words would be but child's play and nothing to be taken seriously. However, when we truly love God,we tremble at His words. His Word then become an instructive guide that we can't bear to ignore. Such that when it is evoked upon us, we develop a godly sorrow that works repentance. And what other act shows love for God than when we repent at the rebuke of His word, because we fear Him? _MEDITATION:_ *For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.* (2 Corinthians 7:10-11 (KJV)) {Please cross reference this passage with other translations of the Bible.} *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Friday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Month_of_Goodnews* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Hello_November* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/11/keeping-body-balanced-v.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
