"The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether." Psalm 19:9
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge (wisdom).
It is the reverence for His Word - and as long as we are listening and practicing it - it becomes clear and transparent in our lives; branding us as children of God, with His character, that everyone around us will be able to see.
Those who fight for spiritual survival are overcomers everyday and thus attain eternal life.
God's standards are both true and fair.

Precepts
"The precepts of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes." Psalm 19:8
Human laws are flawed and are still subject to change and reform. However, the Law of my Lord remains forever, irrelevant of the times, fitting perfectly into any era. It was published so that life would be happy and joyful. It is pure and Holy and opens our eyes to see the greatness of God.

Meditation
Many of the followers of this page are curious to know the correct way to read the Bible.
When I experienced the New Birth, a hunger and a thirst to know His thoughts and His will was also born in me. I was determined to read His Word from cover to cover. Everyday I read two chapters from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament; I always started on the first day of the year and I repeated this for several years - and I still do. I like reading Psalms and Proverbs also because they helped me to build my character and to understand others.
However, the reading itself is not the most important thing but rather the MEDITATION of the Word. It was only by meditating on the Word of God that I was able to live my life according to His voice.
"The Law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple." Psalm 19: 7
I learnt to love Him, in the knowledge that He loved me first - although I didn't deserve it. No one understands me like He does; He knows me so well. He knows my thoughts; He never fails; He fills my whole being with His presence; He gave me the assurance of my salvation; He sacrificed His Son for me. It's a Love that is second to none!

The Tree
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.
For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought, nor cease to yield fruit." Jeremiah 17:7-8
When you establish your trust in God, His presence refreshes and satisfies your soul in such a way that even if problems come, you are steadfast and certain of victory; and still, you are able to infect others with this living water - the drink from the Rivers of God.

Conviction
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39
The remarkable experience sensed by those who are born of God is very strong. The love of their Lord is unparalleled; His love brings them peace and security. He gives them direction and vision so that they will make the right choices; and the best thing: the certainty (with gladness and joy) of their salvation – the passport of faith.
Thanksgiving
"He who offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me; and to him that orders his way aright, will I show the salvation of God." Psalm 50:23
Sunday: the day we dedicate to our God; to worship Him, to glorify Him and to encounter the fullness of His Spirit. It is this supply of the Spirit that empowers us to make His Name known to all those that desire Him in their lives.

Brightness
"Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever." Daniel 12:3
He who saves souls is wise.
There is a price to pay, but the harvest is great and the labourers are few. You have to work your fingers to the bone, fast, pray early in the morning and then by the Spirit, be used to show people the Way of salvation.
"Those who sow in tears shall reap with joy." Psalm 126:5
These people will shine for all eternity.
