Title : Fear of Who?

-
The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. Proverbs 29:25 ESV
Devotion : The verse above clearly states the obvious that a man is not to be feared/trusted. The reason is that it leads to a dead end, a failure, unfulfilled promise, a broadcast that will lead to a snare. 
The one who trusts a man lacks wisdom because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and is blessed Jeremiah 17:7. So whoever lacks wisdom can easily be ensnared by lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and of money. The pursuit of these easily leads to sinful act which means spiritual death. 
In the physical, a story is told of a person who feared his wife so much that he must meet her unending financial demands. This made him steal from his office and he was caught and dismissed. While serving jail term the woman married another person. 
In conclusion, Eccl 12:13, I urge you to fear God  rather than man. Fear of God is obedience to God and it brings life. Hallelujah!

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
