Proverbs 14:27 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.” (Proverbs 14:27 NKJV)

He alludes to a chilling scenario of how it would be without the spring of living water that gives us life. The fountain of life is the place where we must be settled, in order to live and not die. Not just to live, but to flourish and be fruitful. We are to hide in that secret place of the Most High (Psalms 91:1 NKJV) - in the sanctuary of His love.

We are to come to Jesus, He is the fountain of life! At the well, during a conversation with the Samaritan woman: "Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13-14 NIV)

As believers in Jesus Christ, being born again from the flesh to the spirit, we are set in that constant reverent fear of The Lord, by His grace. Fear from being separated from Him who is the author of life. He provides His sustaining breathe of life. He disabled the snares of death. He gave His life to give us life. In His resurrection, from death and its sting of sin, we are slaves no more, as it is written: "When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:54-57 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
