God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Observation: I don\u2019t think a day goes by without me committing some type of sin.  I find it so difficult to love each person and my first thought is always a negative one.  I might say something and try to justify it or put myself above God and others.  Each day is a test on how well I\u2019ll do and even though I might continue to improve I\u2019m far off from being the man I should be for my Lord.  I need more fear of my Lord when I decide to do something.  Not that He will strike me down with lightning, but that I will fear that I will let Him down, again.  <\/p>\n<p>Application: I need to be able to see God in all that I do, He should be my main focus no matter what I\u2019m doing.  He is the reason I get up each morning and only by His grace do I even exist.  Each day is a test and I need to study, because the results of these tests will be read in heaven and I want a passing grade a grade I will be proud of taking home to my Father.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer:  Thank You Lord for each day you have given me whether good or bad.  No matter what happens open my eyes to what you are teaching me and that I see your hand in everything that I do.  I\u2019m here to serve you and honor you, help me Lord pass the final exam with flying colors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture Exodus 20:20 Moses said to the people, &#8220;Do not be afraid.
