The fear of the Lord - Ps111

Ps111: 10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;"
A lot of the times we think we have the wisdom and can just do fine by ourselves without the fear of the Lord. We might be accumulating wealth, power or other gains in the world, but deep down in out hearts we'll find that without fulfilling the purposes of God in our lives we're just running in circles. Our lives will be empty no matter how they look like on the outside.
The fear of the Lord brings us to the right track of the life paths. And only on this path can we find true achievement and fulfilment.
"His praise endures forever." (v10)
The praises of men won't last long. But if we have His praise, it might not look pleasing in men's eyes, but it will last forever.

ps111:6 "He has made known to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations."
It's never too late to turn to God. No matter what circumstance we're in, if we truly repent and turn to God, He's well capable to bring us out of our miseries and mess and give us a heritage and a future that's way beyond our imagination.
