Walking on the narrow path of the Lord, means walking in the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord has nothing to do with being fearful, niespokojny, or afraid of God. But to fear the Lord means to have respect and live in awe of the most High God; the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, i wszystko, co jest w środku, and to love Him. There is none like Him. Fearing the Lord is not a passive behaviour, but it requires action. W Księdze Przysłów 2:1-5 we read about walking in the fear of the Lord. What does walking in the fear of the Lord mean? How do you walk in the fear of the Lord?
What does walking in the fear of the Lord mean?
Mój syn, jeśli przyjmiesz moje słowa, i ukryj moje przykazania u ciebie; Abyś nakłonił swe ucho ku mądrości, i nakłoń swoje serce do zrozumienia; Tak, jeśli będziesz wołał o wiedzę, i rozjaśnij głos ku zrozumieniu; Jeśli będziesz jej szukać jak srebra, i szukajcie jej jak skarbów ukrytych; Wtedy zrozumiesz bojaźń Pańską, i odnajdziesz poznanie Boga(Przysłowia 2:1-5)
When do you walk in the fear of the Lord? Proverbs chapter 2, verses 1-5 gives an answer to this question. Solomon mentions 10 działania:
- Odbierać Jego słowa
- Ukrywać Jego przykazania
- Skłonić twoje ucho ku mądrości
- Stosować swoje serce do zrozumienia
- Płakać po wiedzy
- Lift up your voice for understanding
- Szukać ją jak srebro
- Szukaj for her as for hidden treasures
- Potem ty zrozumieć bojaźń Pana
- I find poznanie Boga
Let’s have a look at each one of these steps.
Receive His words and Hide His words
Przede wszystkim, you should hear, and receive the Words of God, and keep those Words with you in your heart. When you accept His words and przestrzegać Jego przykazań, then the Word shall be in you, and you shall be in the Word (Jezus). Tak jak powiedział Jezus:
And the glory which thou gave me I have given them; aby byli jedno, even as we are one: Ja w nich, and thou in me, aby w jednym byli doskonali; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, i pokochałeś je, as thou has loved me (Jan 17:22,23).
Incline your ear unto wisdom and
apply your heart to understanding
Kiedy przyjmiesz Jego słowa, i zachowaj je w swoim sercu, wtedy twoje ucho dostrzeże mądrość. Because you shall hear, and because you hear, you shall become wise. Wiara comes by hearing, i słuchanie Słowa Bożego. The Word shall live in your heart, i z tego powodu, you shall live and walk in wisdom, i wiedza.
Cry after knowledge and
lift up your voice for understanding
You shall get understanding by hearing the Word of God, keeping the Word of God, and by speaking the Word of God. You’ll therefore cry after knowledge. You will call those things which are not, Jakby byli.
There must be a desire inside of you to spend time with God, in His Word. Study His Word, seek and find all truths that are written in the Word (Biblię). You can only find true wisdom and knowledge in the Word.
Seek her like silver and
search for her as for hidden treasures
Seek Him, as you seek for silver, and search in the Word for those hidden treasures, because God has given you an inheritance. You will only find out what this inheritance contains, if you seek His Kingdom, and search in the Word. He wants to reveal those things to you, przez Jego Słowo.
Walking in the fear of the Lord and
in His knowledge
If you spend time in His Word and seek for truths, then you shall get to know the Lord and find all truth. When you find all truth, then you shall understand the fear of the Lord. When you understand the fear of the Lord, then you shall find knowledge, and you shall be walking in the fear of the Lord, and in His knowledge.
