This is my view to the left of my kitchen sink. I love all the fresh produce this time of year. It is part of what makes summer so sweet.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.   { Psalm 111:10}

Do you want to be part of something that is eternal? Then you need to praise the Lord. Not many things can be forever, in fact, as I look around the room I don't see a thing that will be here in a hundred years, including me.

I'll bet you have heard this verse before, but what does fearing the Lord mean to us? Reverence, loyalty, obedience are all part of this, but what God loves more than these, is a will to do what pleases Him. Sometimes this means surrendering what we really want, because He knows better. This is where the good understanding comes in. We have a knowing that His way is the right way, and yes, right and wrong still exist! God knows it, the devil knows it and we had better get this deep down in our souls, so we can walk in wisdom all the days of our lives. Amen.
