Confirmation

Confirm to your servant your promise, that you may be feared. Psalm 119:38 Another version says it this way: Establish Your word to Your servant, As that which produces reverence for You.  Still another version ends up with the words, In awe of you.  Fear of God or that you may be feared is a healthy respect, it is not saying a God we need to be afraid of and hide in a corner from fear. God tells us to come boldly to his throne. I think when we walk with God a while and we have received confirmation from him in many ways. I think of that prayer prayed at age five, it encourages me to come to God with my requests. I think of another prayer that God answered a little over 4 years ago, and since then, he has confirmed his word to me and I have been blessed. I try to walk as best I know. I have asked for a different kind of confirmation and I wonder if I am prideful or not. But I ask anyway because God's word says we receive not because we ask not, or we ask amiss. I know God has my back. He has proven that over and over again. I think of the prayer prayed in 2001 and God answered as I was still praying. He confirmed himself to me that I would be encouraged and established in him. I know I have blogged about these prayers that God answered instantly. The prayer I prayed at age five and the prayer I prayed in 2001 that God answered as I was still praying, they encourage me and I have learned to respect a gracious God that hears and answers prayer. I have had enough confirmations that I continue to pray, sometimes lifting up the same people year after year after year. I know God hears, and perhaps in heaven I will see the answer. I am in awe of a God that loved me as he has, and knowing where he brought me from, and what he brought me out of. Thank you God for answered prayers. God bless, LVZ.
