Holistic Spirituality: part 2

After acknowledging that Jesus Christ is the Center of Everything, we must begin to seek Him out.

Seek The Fear of the Lord

And he said to man, 'The fear of the Lord--that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.'" Job 28:28
 
Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give m
e an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. Psalm 86:11

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. Psalm 111:10

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. Proverbs 1:7

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
1 John 3:1


Seek the Lord in Awe and Humility

The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. Proverbs 15:33
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8

Seek the Lord and distinguish between the Temporal VS the Eternal

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9
Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. Psalm 90:2
We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation. Psalm 90:7
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us-- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17

 Next Time Seeking the Lord with a Heart of Wisdom

All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. Psalm 90:9
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12
