Daniel took no glory or credit for himself. That’s the
only kind of man who is safe with increase and riches – one
who understands that he’s not the source of any greatness.
To further see the purity of Daniel’s heart, we can look
at what else he did at the time the king promoted him and
bestowed great gifts upon him.
And Daniel requested of the king and he appointed
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego over the affairs
of the province of Babylon…
(Daniel 2:49, The Amplified Bible)
Daniel didn’t forget those who brought their supply to
this incident. His companions had prayed and believed
with him, so he made sure that they increased with him!
A true-hearted, spiritual man brings others up higher; he
doesn’t seek to only have himself increased, but a spiritual
man brings other into increase as well!

N. Dufresne-God: Revealer of Secrets
Amazing wealth came to Daniel through this incident.
When he knew God’s plan, he not only was able to spare
the lives of all the wise men, but promotion and great prosperity
was tied to God’s plan. Having knowledge of God’s
plan made him rich and brought him into a position of
great influence. Increase is attached to God’s plan! Gain
knowledge of that plan; live it out, and walk in financial
abundance!
But it’s important to see something about Daniel. His
purpose in this entire incident was not to “turn a buck” or
to exalt himself, for when he stood before the king to reveal
the dream to him, he stated,
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for
any wisdom that I have more than anyone else liv-
ing, but in order that the interpretation may be
known to the king…
(Daniel 2:30, The Amplified Bible)

Mrs. Nancy Dufresne-God:The Revealer of Secrets
After Daniel told the king his dream and its interpretation,
King Nebuchadnezzar proclaimed in verse 47,
…Of a truth your God is the God of gods and the
Lord of kings and a REVEALER OF SECRET
MYSTERIES…
Let’s read further to Daniel 2:48.
Then the king made Daniel great and gave him
many great gifts, and he made him to rule over the
whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor
over all the wise men of Babylon.

Above the Storm-Carol Hopson
The difference in the reaction of the two women I wrote
about is this. The first woman was “working for God” and
trying to be a Christian by doing good things. However,
after getting to know her better, I realized that she had
never committed her life to the Lord and had never
received Him as her Lord and Savior. Therefore, she could
continue in her life of sin and not feel the “pull” of conviction
on her life. I saw hopelessness and defeat in her, but
not conviction. I still pray that she will truly find peace by
turning from her worldly life and by receiving God’s free
gift of forgiveness and salvation.
The second woman belonged to the Lord and He wouldn’t
let her go. The pull to return home was too great
because of the Holy Spirit residing in her. I’m so thankful
that God loves us enough to give us this spiritual “compass”
to continually guide us through the difficult times
and keep us from the attractions of the world. If you’re
feeling overwhelmed, enticed, convicted or miserable
today, check your “compass” and start heading home.

Mrs. Carol Hopson-Above the Storm
I love to read the Psalms because I often feel like David
did, and I love His honesty.
He acknowledged,
When I kept it all inside, my bones turned to
powder, my words became daylong groans. The
pressure never let up; all the juices of my life dried
up. Then I let it all out; I said, ‘I’ll make a clean
breast of my failures to God.’ Suddenly the pressure
was gone, my guilt dissolved, my sin disappeared.

Mrs. C Hopson-Above the Storm
God has done the same thing for His beloved children.
He has given us the Holy Spirit, our “built-in” Compass, to
convict and guide us through life. In the book of John we
read,
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father
will send in my name, He will teach you all things,
and bring to your remembrance all that I said to
you.
And He, when He comes, will convict the world
concerning sin, and righteousness and judgment.
(John 14:26 and 16:8)
I’ve certainly experienced this “pain or pressure” from
the Holy Spirit when I’ve allowed bitterness to take root in
my heart, or when I’ve knowingly said something hurtful.
I’ve also felt it when I’ve been unwilling to do God’s will
because it was in conflict with what I wanted. It wasn’t
until I confessed my sin, and returned “home” to my Savior,
that my peace was restored.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman
Like the Appearance of Something
Resembling What You Have Never Seen
God exists in a form, time and space beyond human
comprehension. That is why the prophet and the apostle
struggled to describe Him and those around His throne. Notice
in the following text how many times the two men used “like,”
“something like,” “resembled,” “resembling,” “in appearance” and
“the appearance of”:
Ezekiel’s Description in Ezekiel 1:22-28:
Now over the heads of the living beings [Read Ezekiel 1:1-
21 for the prophet’s description of the four living
creatures and compare it with the Apostle John’s
description in Revelation 4, reprinted in this chapter]
there was something like an expanse, like the awesome
gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads. Under the
expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one
toward the other; each one also had two wings covering its
body on the one side and on the other. I also heard the
sound of their wings like the sound of abundant waters as
they went, like the voice of the Almighty, a sound of
tumult like the sound of an army camp; whenever they
stood still, they dropped their wings. And there came a
voice from above the expanse that was over their heads;
whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings. Now
above the expanse that was over their heads there was
something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in
appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high
up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. Then I
noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward
something like glowing metal that looked like fire all
around within it, and from the appearance of His loins
and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a
radiance around Him. As the appearance of the rainbow
in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the
surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the
likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell
on my face and heard a voice speaking.”

Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord
Indescribable Images
After receiving visions of God, Ezekiel and the Apostle John
struggled to describe what they saw. That is evident from the
things they wrote regarding His face and form. Here are a few
of their descriptions as recorded in the books of Ezekiel and
Revelation:
like jasper stone and sardius in appearance
a face like the sun shining in its strength
eyes that are like flames of fire
a figure with the appearance of a man who is like glowing
metal that
looks like fire from the loin up and something like fire
from the loin down
a radiance all around Him similar to a rainbow
Now close your eyes for a moment and try to picture what you
just read. Are you able to visualize Him? Of course you are not!
What is described is completely and supernaturally beyond
human comprehension.

Pastor D. Hoffman-Fear of the Lord
CHAPTER THREE
Fear That Produces An
Appreciation of God
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by
the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the
waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps
in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the
inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
[Psalm 33:6-8]
What image comes to your mind when you think of God? I do
not mean Jesus. It is relatively easy to imagine our Savior in
human form...teaching the multitudes, reclining at the Passover
table or expiring on the cross. It is quite different to picture the
glorious, majestic, Almighty God...In fact I personally do not
think it is possible. If you try, two things are certain to happen:
you will have a greater appreciation of God and your fear of Him
will increase.
Consider for a moment the God who created molten lava and
the delicate tissue of your eardrum...towering sequoias and the
tiny pollen-collecting hairs on a honeybee. Fixing your mind on
creation inspires awe for the Creator, but try conjuring up His
image and you will always come up short.

Those things are not a secret to God, but they are a
secret to you; and it’s not a secret God wants to keep from
you. He’s looking to reveal secrets to those who will set
themselves to seek Him and to ask.
God will talk to you about the things you talk about to
Him. But if you never ask Him about these secrets, they
will likely go unrevealed. He’s waiting on us to initiate
some things because He won’t violate our wills.

a man’s permission.

concerning your life.

Above the Storm-Carol Hopson
What made the difference in these two situations? I’ll
explain it with another eagle story. The eagle’s eyes are
truly amazing. You see, their eyes are made up of a series
of tissues that are folded into pleats called pectins. There
are tubes running thoughout these pleats which are filled
with an electrolyte fluid which is a conductor of electricity
and is affected by a magnetic field. Amazingly, these
pectins align themselves with the North Pole in relation to
the eagle’s place of birth. By the time they are mature, the
alignment is permanently set. Therefore, when the eagle
is far from home, there is actually pain or discomfort in his
eyes. The pain or pressure stops only when the eagle
returns to his place of birth. This is why he can find his
way home from thousands of miles away...God has given
him a built-in compass.

Mrs. Carol Hopson-Above the Storm
Another woman I’ve counseled stepped out of God’s will
and went along with Satan’s enticement for a time. She left
her husband and children, thinking that the grass would
be greener with a new man in her life. But, this situation
ended differently. She tried to find peace and joy in the
midst of her choices but she couldn’t. Oh yes, there would
be moments of happiness when she would enjoy the temporary
excitement of sinful pleasures, but it never lasted
and then guilt and sadness would overwhelm her. She was
under conviction all the time, and couldn’t ignore the pain
any longer. She finally repented of her sinful choices,
asked forgiveness of her family and went back home. God
honored her obedience and healed her marriage and
restored her joy. Yes, there are still consequences because
of her choices, but she knows she is forgiven and her heart
is at peace.

ended differently. She tried to find peace and joy in the
midst of her choices but she couldn’t. Oh yes, there would
be moments of happiness when she would enjoy the temporary
excitement of sinful pleasures, but it never lasted
and then guilt and sadness would overwhelm her. She was
under conviction all the time, and couldn’t ignore the pain
any longer. She finally repented of her sinful choices,
asked forgiveness of her family and went back home. God
honored her obedience and healed her marriage and
restored her joy. Yes, there are still consequences because
of her choices, but she knows she is forgiven and her heart
is at peace.

Mrs. C Hopson-Above the Storm
You’re cheating on God. If
all you want is your own
way, flirting with the world
every chance you get, you end
up enemies of God and his
way.
(James 4:4)
Why do we continue to flirt with
the world? Why are we attracted to
the pull of the world and why do we
think there is more joy there? Let me
explain. Recently, my heart has been
heavy over a friend’s decision to turn
against God’s ways and reject the
truths of His Word. She had been
“working for” the Lord for many
years but then a “friend” came into
her life and enticed her to see what
the world had to offer. My friend
took her eyes off of the truth, stopped
reading God’s Word and fellowship-
ing with believers, and Satan quickly lured her into a life of
sin. I stayed in contact with her for many months, loving
her and trying to call her back to the truth, but she got farther
and farther into her sinful ways. She finally broke off
all communication, but in our last talks I could see how
empty and hopeless her life had become, and yet she chose
to stay...hoping that the thrill would return.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman
When you fear God, His Kingdom and righteousness become
your priority...and your material and emotional needs become
His priority.
Psalm 25:14 says:
The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, and He
will make them know His covenant.
Every day I ask God to increase my ability to fear Him
because I want to know His secrets! Those secrets contained in
God’s Word will help me know how to be a good husband and
father, bring direction to my life, success to my ministry, and
enable me to live a life rich with the fruits of the Spirit. Not
everyone has access to those secrets...they are reserved for those
who choose to fear Him.
Fearing the Lord is my choice and I pray it will be
yours too. May we all be filled with the fear that produces
blessing until Jesus returns!

Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord
Seek First His Kingdom and His Righteousness
Jesus said the key to receiving the desires of your heart is not
seeking them, but seeking God’s Kingdom and righteousness:
For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your
life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor
for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more
than food, and the body than clothing? But seek first His
kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will
be added to you. [Matthew 6:25 and 33]

Pastor D. Hoffman-Fear of the Lord
Fear the Lord in Temptation
When you say “no” to temptation, God is able to bless you
abundantly; just look at the life of Joseph [Genesis 39-41]! There
is no doubt in my mind that Potipher’s wife was a very beautiful
woman and her efforts to seduce Joseph were very appealing.
Joseph, however, feared God...he had wisdom and discernment
from God...so when he was cornered by temptation Joseph ran!
His response brought tribulation for a season but ultimately he
was exalted for it. Pharaoh promoted Joseph to rule over Egypt
because Joseph had great wisdom and discernment from God
[Genesis 41:39-45].

God:The Revealer of Secrets-Nancy Dufresne
God doesn’t force anything upon anyone. He never
moves uninvited. He won’t violate anyone’s will.
God knows that every man needs a Savior, but He
won’t make any man receive Jesus; they must make that
decision and receive Him for themselves.
Knowledge doesn’t equal permission! I may know that
a man has a $100 bill in his wallet, but that doesn’t mean
I have his permission to take it, just because I know about
it.

N. Dufresne-God: Revealer of Secrets
James 4:2 tells us, “…ye have not, because ye ask not.”
Again, we see the great need to ask.
“Well,” someone may ask, “If God knows I need something,
why doesn’t He give it to me, even if I don’t ask?”
The answer to that question is, knowledge doesn’t
equal permission. Just because He has knowledge that
you have a need, that doesn’t mean He has your permission
to supply that need.

Mrs. Nancy Dufresne-God:The Revealer of Secrets
So, people just get the idea that since God knows what
I need, He’ll just automatically give me those things – but
He won’t!
You need to pay attention to all that Jesus stated in
this passage. “…Your Father knoweth what things ye have
need of, BEFORE YE ASK HIM.” So, He’s telling us that
although He knows our need, we still must ask for the
things we need.

Above the Storm-Carol Hopson
As I sat rocking her for a long time, God revealed to me
a truth that has carried me through many struggles.
Sometimes, I feel so knocked down by the circumstances
He allows and I wonder what He is doing. But then I realize
that my understanding is so limited and I can’t know
the mind of God, but I can and do know how much He loves
me. So, I just need to trust His love and leave the rest to
Him.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not
depend on your own understanding. Seek His will
in all you do and He will direct your paths.
(Proverbs 3:5,6 NLT)

Mrs. Carol Hopson-Above the Storm
My heart was shaken by the near tragedy and by
Lucy’s look of disbelief. All I could do was to rush to her,
pick her up, and hold her tight. I took her to the chair and
began to sing to her and rock her in my arms. You see,
there was no way I could explain to a ten-month-old why I
had to react the way I did. She was too young and her
understanding was too limited. All I could do was to
remind her of my love and hold her until she remembered
and rested in my arms. Gradually, Lucy relaxed, her tears
ceased and she was once again my trusting little grandchild.

Mrs. C Hopson-Above the Storm
NANA’S STORY
Since Lucy is my youngest grandchild, I seem to have
more recent stories about her, so I’ll share one more at this
point. I think this is one of the greatest lessons I’ve
learned through my precious grandchildren. Ten-monthold
Lucy was playing in the family room which adjoined
our kitchen. I was getting dinner ready and the family was
outside enjoying the back yard. After checking to see
where Lucy was, I opened my lower oven door and pulled
out the casserole. I took it to the counter and then
returned to close the oven door. But to my horror, little
Lucy had somehow crawled all that way in seconds and
was now reaching for the 400 degree oven door. She was
used to playing with the dishwasher door which was at the
same level, and she didn’t know the difference. In my
panic, all I could think of to do was to reach out and fling
her away from the hot oven door, just as she was reaching
for it. She fell back on her little bottom and looked up at
me with quivering lips and tear-filled eyes. It was as if she
was saying to me, “Nana, I thought you loved me! How
could you be so mean to me! You’re the one who sings to
me, cuddles me, and lights up when I enter the room. Why
would you knock me down like that?” Now, did I do this
because I didn’t care or didn’t love her? Did I do it to punish
her? Of course not! I did it solely out of my deep love
for her, to protect her, but she couldn’t understand that
yet.

the way of death. [Proverbs 14:12]

The Desperately Sick Heart
Satan frequently tries to convince believers that compromising
God’s Word is the only way to experience the desires of their heart:
marriage, a home, fun, success. He does not have to work very
hard because the human heart is deceitful, sick and selfish:
The heart is more deceitful than all else and is
desperately sick; who can understand it? [Jeremiah 17:9]
If you think God is telling you it is okay for you to marry a
non-Christian you are not hearing from God!

God has a plan for their lives, then He’ll just make that
plan happen; but that’s not true! God must have you to initiate
some things in your own life before He can move in
your behalf.

N. Dufresne-God: Revealer of Secrets
God is looking to reveal His plan for your life to you, but
you must, as Daniel and his three companions did, seek to
know that secret.
Notice that God didn’t initiate this prayer meeting;
Daniel and his companions did. God’s waiting for you to
initiate somethings in your prayer life.
When Daniel heard of the king’s urgent command to
kill the wise men, God didn’t just automatically intervene,
showing Daniel the secret. Daniel had to make a request
of the Lord to know what He knew.

request of the Lord, no doubt, carried great earnestness
and was heartfelt.
Likewise, it is imperative to your own life that you have
revealed to you the secret of His plan for your life! No casual
apathetic approach will do. There must be an earnest,
heartfelt desire toward the Lord to know His plan.

Mrs. Carol Hopson-Above the Storm
I have set the Lord continually before me; because
He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
my flesh also shall dwell securely.
(Psalm 16:8,9)
Now let’s get back to that little flailing eaglet. He still
thinks he’s going to crash and life is over. But, just before
he hits the ground, the father eagle, swoops under him and
catches him on his back and returns him to his nest for
another flying lesson. Isn’t that a beautiful picture of
God’s loving care for us? We can’t learn obedience in our
comfortable surroundings, and we can’t grow properly if
we never learn to crawl, walk, and run. And so, God, in
His love, gives us “flying lessons.” God knows what’s
ahead and He knows how He wants to use us and so we
need to trust Him with the lessons He has planned for us.

Mrs. C Hopson-Above the Storm
I had to love God enough to trust Him and choose to
believe that He was giving me a future and a hope when I
was told that the baby I was carrying would most likely die
or be born with severe problems. I had hemorraged at
three and a half months, on an airplane, and was encouraged
to abort the baby if I didn’t miscarry in the near
future. We had prayed for this child and already loved this
child so much. We would never consider abortion and so
we had to take just one day at a time and trust that God
knew what was best for us. We also had to continually
remember how much He loved us and this special child I
was carrying. To the doctor’s amazement, our perfect,
beautiful daughter was born without any of the predicted
problems. What if we would have believed the advice we
received and didn’t trust God enough to know what was
best for us? This was such a life-altering lesson for me. I
realized that I could have wasted six precious months worrying,
fretting, and being angry with God over something
that was never going to happen. I’m sure there have been
many times in my life when I did jump to wrong conclusions
and didn’t believe what God’s Word so clearly teaches.
It’s so important to do what David did.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman
Consequences: A Valuable Tool
Consequences can be a valuable tool in the hand of God. The
pain inflicted by the sharp edge of consequence is one reason
many wayward Christians rethink their rebellion and return to
God.
Consequences also can be a useful tool in the hand of a
repentant Christian. I know a man who made some wrong
decisions; he had been married three times and suffered many
consequences. Though he could not reclaim his wasted years, he
found a way to make the experience beneficial. As often as the
Lord gives him opportunity, he shares his testimony with men
having marriage problems. Those who heed his warning have
the opportunity to learn from his pain instead of suffering their
own.

Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord
I have a special word of warning for young people who disobey
God: if you have parents who pray for you, the odds are stacked
against you...you might as well give up now because you will
return to God. Sooner or later you are going to reap the
consequences: fail at a marriage or two, succumb to health
problems or suffer financial disaster. Eventually, you will come
back to God because He loves to bless praying parents. You are
better off saving yourself the trouble by surrendering now.

Pastor D. Hoffman-Fear of the Lord
Notice God’s response. He steps back and basically says,
“Beloved, My desire is to bless you but if you insist on disobedience
I will allow you to pursue your desires and learn the hard way.”
According to scripture, death and destruction will be the result; it
could be literal or it could be the death and destruction of
blessings...purity, peace, relationships, finances and health. In
either case, refusing God’s counsel is the beginning of a journey
you will eventually regret.

God:The Revealer of Secrets-Nancy Dufresne
When all the wise men told the king that he made an
impossible request of them, the king sent out an edict commanding
that all the wise men be killed.
When Daniel heard of the king’s urgent command,
Daniel went into the king and requested of the king to set
a date and a time, then Daniel would reveal the dream and
its interpretation to him.
After meeting with the king, Daniel went to his three
other Hebrew companions, Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego,
and they had a united prayer meeting.
Daniel 2:18 tells us that they met together,
So that they would desire and request mercy of the
God of heaven concerning this SECRET...
(The Amplified Bible)
The dream and interpretation was a secret to them, but
it was no secret to God – He knows all.

N. Dufresne-God: Revealer of Secrets
Daniel was carried as a youth into captivity into Babylon,
along with the remainder of God’s people during the
reign of King Nebuchadnezzar.
Favor was upon Daniel, and he was chosen to be
trained so that he could serve before the king.
One night King Nebuchadnezzar dreamed a dream.
However, when he awaked, he forgot the dream, and didn’t
know it’s meaning; yet he understood it to carry significance.
He sent out on urgent call to all the wise men in his
kingdom, commanding that they interpret the dream for
him. But since he had forgotten the dream, they also had
to tell him what the dream was.

CHAPTER FOUR
God: A Revealer of Secrets
One of the great rewards of spending time feeding on
the Word is that you soon see that life’s purpose is bigger
than you!
The shallow, discontent, dissatisfied, unfulfilled life is
one that lives only for itself and its own purpose. But we
have been redeemed from such a low existence, for God has
given us a plan and a purpose that reaches far beyond ourselves
in scope.
In our quest to know and fulfill God’s plan for our life,
we see that God is the only One who can reveal it to us, and
the more time we spend with Him, the more that plan
unfolds to us.
Let’s take some time to look at an event that happened
in the life of Daniel, for we will find instruction for our own
lives.

Mrs. Carol Hopson-Above the Storm
Now back to Jack. My daughter and I noticed that he
wasn’t in the small group playing near us in the kitchen so
I went in search of him. I found him laying as close as possible
to the manger, playing with his little army men. I
asked him if he’d like to come out to the kitchen to be near
us. His reply has stayed with me, “No thanks, Nana! I
just want to stay close to Jesus!” You see, Jack didn’t even
notice that he was alone because he was conscious of staying
close to Jesus, even though it was only a doll which represented
Jesus.
Have you lost your awareness of Jesus’ presence?
Maybe your loneliness is God’s way of bringing you closer to
Himself. “Do not fear, for I am with you.” (Isaiah 41:10a)

Mrs. C Hopson-Above the Storm
Anticipating the arrival of the family, I had decorated
every inch of the house. But the main attraction was the
full-size manger in the living room. Years ago, my husband
built me a rough hewn manger which was just big
enough for a life-sized baby. Each year I put fresh hay in
it, wrap a porcelain baby doll in swaddling clothes and put
it in the manger. There would be sheep lying around it and
lighted trees behind it. Then the entire manger is wrapped
in a huge gold bow with a gift tag on it. The tag simply
reads, “For You.” Nearby is a framed print of John 3:16.
Anyone entering my home sees what we are celebrating
and it has opened many conversations with people who
come to our front door.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman
It is clear that this scripture speaks specifically of Christians
because it is about people who are seeking Him diligently. Today
they are the people who attend church, read the Bible regularly
and pray. Proverbs says they do not find Him because they hate
knowledge and refuse to fear Him. When they make choices
contrary to God’s directives they are essentially saying, “I reject
Your knowledge, God! I am not going to accept what You say
about this issue, instead I will follow my own counsel.” Their
minds and mouths may not say it, but their actions do.
That is what the Bible calls hating knowledge.
They would not accept My counsel, they spurned all of My
reproof. So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way and
be satiated with their own devices. For the waywardness
of the naive shall kill them, and the complacency of fools
shall destroy them. But he who listens to me shall live
securely, and shall be at ease from the dread of evil.
[Proverbs 1:30-33]

Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord
A Bad Beginning
Know from Proverbs chapter 1 that fearing the Lord is the
beginning of knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Refusing to
fear Him is also a beginning...the beginning of a long, hard road
of separation between an individual and God.
Then they will call on Me, but I will not answer; they will
seek Me diligently, but they will not find Me, because they
hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord.

them are given fully to do evil. [Ecclesiastes 8:11]
God is not anxiously waiting for people to do something wrong
so He can punish them. He weeps over sin and the suffering of
His people. He chose to suffer the ultimate consequence for sin
Himself...death! But when you disobey God there is a sentence
on your life: it may take five, ten, even fifteen years, but as sure
as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, your season of
sowing sin will reap a heartbreaking harvest of consequences.

N. Dufresne-God: Revealer of Secrets
God has promises for you to enter into as well. The enemies
of doubt, fear, unbelief, lack sickness, etc., are to be
conquered in your life. Faith is to be exercised. Meditating
on God’s Word skillfully places God’s weaponry in your
hand so that you rule and reign as a king over the circumstances
that try to oppose you.

Above the Storm-Carol Hopson
Wow, I’ve felt just like that little eagle! I’ve felt safe
and secure in my home and my circumstances and life
were going along so well. Then, without warning, I was
flung out into a desperate situation and felt that I was
truly going to crash, die, or even worse...not die. How could
a loving Father allow this to happen to His child? How
could He allow such cruelty, such unexpected changes,
such insecurity? The simple answer is...because He loves
me. It’s just that I don’t always understand His love, just
as a small child can’t understand the discipline or discipleship
of his parent because he doesn’t have the maturity.
He just has to trust his parent’s love.
Our Heavenly Father says:
I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,
plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you
a future and a hope.
(Jeremiah 29:11)

Mrs. Carol Hopson-Above the Storm
Just when they start getting used to balancing on the
edge, she takes her wing and flicks one of them out of the
nest. What a shock! How could this be happening? They
were in such a nice, safe environment and now they’ve
been flung out into the cruel world. The eaglet probably
assumes death is near as he tries and tries to flap his
wings but keeps falling downward.

Mrs. C Hopson-Above the Storm
I love reading about how the
mother and father eagles take care
of their little family. They build a
huge nest, made up of large branches,
smaller twigs and leaves, and
soft downy feathers from the mother’s
breast. After the eaglets are
hatched, the father eagle goes in
search of food, and eventually he
hunts for toys and returns with a
ball, a shoe, a tin can or something
else he found in someone’s backyard.
These will keep the babies happy
and entertained for awhile. They
are safe and secure in their nest and
everything they need is brought to
them.
But as they begin to mature, life
changes for them. You’ve already
read how their mother strips away
their toys and all of the soft lining of
their home. But she eventually goes further than that.
After she sees that their little talons are getting stronger
and stronger, she takes them to another stage of development.
One day, she begins moving them toward the edge
of their safe nest. This nest is usually eight to twelve feet
across and so the young birds haven’t had to venture this
close to the edge before. She pushes and prods them up
toward the rim of the nest until they are just balancing on
the edge. I’m sure they’re wondering what’s happened to
their loving mother. How could she be so mean? The
Scriptures even mention the female eagle that “stirs up her
nest.” (Deuteronomy 32:11)

Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman
A Harvest of Heartaches
Some people live in the delusion that they can compromise
God’s Word without repercussions because they do not suffer
immediate consequences. They could not be more wrong. While
some consequences for sin are immediately evident, often they do
not materialize until much later. One thing is certain, however,
the consequences will come.
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a
man sows, this he will also reap. [Galatians 6:7]

Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord
I wanted a wife and children like most young men, but
because of consequences for my choices I did not marry until
later in life. I was 40 years old before I finally had the 1st of three
children.
My younger brother, John, was not like me. He did his best
to obey God in every way. John is in his early thirties now and
has a great family and ministry. Many of God’s blessings have
come to him 15 years earlier than I received them, because early
in His life he made a choice to fear God. God has given me a
wonderful family, but I will never reclaim my lost years. John
does not have lost years to regret!

I did suffer other consequences because of my sin, but was
spared the consequence of death. Why God allows some
consequences and covers others by His mercy is a mystery that
only He understands.

God:The Revealer of Secrets-Nancy Dufresne
If you’re to experience success, then this verse tells you
that it’s up to you; it’s not up to God to make you a success.
He’s already given you His Word, so meditate on it, and
your actions toward His Word will ensure your success.
It’s up to you!
God gave this instruction to Joshua at a crucial time in
Israel’s history. They had been wandering in the wilderness
for forty years. If they were to stop the wandering
and take possession of the land that God had promised
them, then Joshua was going to have to meditate on God’s
Word so that he could lead them into more of what God
had given them.
