Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

He had made an idol of his career and, like any false god, it
betrayed him—it cost him his family! He resigned his job, took
another and made the Lord and his family his first priority.
Some people thought he was crazy, but he learned an important
lesson—only God is able to make life complete. He determined
he would obey God, even if his marriage never reconciled. He
told me, “I’ve been to the top and it isn’t so good.”
Friend, if you want to learn how to fear God you must lay
every idol at the foot of the cross. In time the Lord may give
some things back to you when He knows there is no danger.
Today if you want to fear God you must lay down all those things
that keep you from obeying God. A friend of mine, Marc Dupont,
has a prophetic ministry. He gave up mountain climbing when
it became an idol to him. He thought about it day and night. It
was so important to him that it interfered with his relationship
with the Lord. He knew that in order to obey God he must
stop...so he did. Years later he started mountain climbing again,
but it was no longer an idol he worshipped – it was something
fun to do occasionally.
If you want to learn how to fear God you must be willing to
give up anything that is an idol in your life.
