For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name (Psalm 61:5).
I want to urge you to walk in reverential fear of the Lord all the days of your life. There is a glorious inheritance for those who fear the Lord. The Bibles says, “Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him” (Eccl. 8:12).
This is to say that no matter what other people do, you should see to it that you walk in the fear of the Lord, and it shall be well with you.

To fear the Lord is to hate evil, to love righteousness and to walk in true holiness (Pro. 8:3; Heb. 1:8-9; 1 Peter 1:15-16).
To fear the Lord is to shun pride in every form and walk in true humility, knowing that God sees all that is in your heart (Pro. 22:4; James 4:6; Micah 6:8).

- a glorious destiny (Genesis 24:1-2; 1 Chro. 29:26-28).

- If you give yourself to diligent prayer daily, receiving divine help to walk in dominion over all the devices of the devil (Matthew 26:41).
Beloved, God has made all that you need to walk in the fear of the Lord available. If you walk in the fear of the Lord, you will walk in divine blessings in time and in eternity (Psalm 37:37). It is well with you.
