Satisfaction => Fulfillment of a need, demand, claim, desire, etc…
Seek God early in your life (Eccl 12:1).
Ex: Daniel (Daniel 1:8; 6:3, 10) and Joseph (Genesis 39:8-10).
Daniel believed God’s ability to answer and reveal hidden things and he went through life threatening trials with the fear of God (Daniel 1:8, 9; 4:24-27; 6:26), as a result he lived in satisfaction all through his life.
Joseph believed in God’s dream and had the fear of God even when he was in his teen years. Joseph was a satisfied man even from the prime time of his life to his end, even though he went through trials and tribulations in his early teen years.
a) The fear of God means the Spirit of the fear of the Lord resting and abiding in you (Isaiah 11:2).
b) The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom (Prov 15:33; James 1:5). The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom because it is the Lord who increases and gives wisdom to man (Prov 1:7; Dan 1:17; Isaiah 28:23-29).
c) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil (Prov 8:13; 16:6).
d) The fear of the Lord will bring good health and will strengthen your body (Prov 3:7, 8).
e) The fear of the Lord will bring God’s provision and favor in every area of your life (Exodus 1:20, 21).
f) The fear of the Lord will cause God to hear your prayers to be heard without fail (Heb 5:7).
g) When you are zealous [zeal – eagerness to do something] for the fear of the Lord, there is a great future and a hope which will bring the presence of God in to your life (Prov 23:17, 18; Heb 6:19).
h) The fear of the Lord will cause you to live in satisfaction (Prov 19:23; Ps 23:1).
i) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom because it is the Lord who increases and gives wisdom to man (Prov 1:7; Dan 1:17; Isaiah 28:23-29).
The Bible says, “Be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.” (Prov 23:17).
