Eze 34:25-31 - “I will make with them a covenant of peace and banish wild beasts from the land, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing, and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing. And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke, and deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them. They shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the land devour them. They shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. And I will provide for them renowned plantations so that they shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land, and no longer suffer the reproach of the nations. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, declares the Lord God. And you are my sheep, human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
What an encouraging passage which refers to the new covenant to be put into operation in the Milennial kingdom. It goes to show how full his blessing will be that will bring peace, security, full knowledge of the Lord and a lack of fear. The promise is that they will know God is with them and we will rest in dependence on God. This is a great prophecy of not only the future, but also a reminder of what God desires now, in that we submit to the Lord our God as our shepherd now in whom there is nothing to be afraid. Psalm 23 Psalm 23:1-6 [4] Even though I walkthrough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me… He is the answer to our fear.
Ps 86:11-13 - Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.
To know the fear of God, we must have an undivided heart. We must learn the way so that we can walk in this truth. If we have a divided heart, if we don’t know the shepherd of our souls, many things will come in and cause fear in our lives. If we understand that the God we glorify, we will glorify forever, it will give us perspective in our days on earth. We must pray for an undivided heart to truly know God and fear Him only. Than weill be able to praise and glorify Him as he deserves.
