The fear of the Lord leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.

Proverbs 19:23 NKJV

In the world today there are so many things trying to tell us that they will give us the life we have been longing for. All you have to do is turn on the tv, listen to music, go on the internet. The media is trying to constantly sell us beauty products to make us look younger, food to satisfy our stomachs, drinks to forget our troubles, and physical promiscutiy to give us pleasure.  All of these things bring satisfaction and pleasure for a season but in the end leave us only with evil, harm, and trouble. 

The bible tells us that ther is only one thing that leads to life: the fear of the Lord. Fear of the Lord leads to life because it causes us to spend time with the Lord and obey his instruction. His instruction maybe hard at first but in the end it will brings satisfaction. It is the only thing that frees us from evil. Walk in the fear of the Lord today and no matter what comes your way you will be free from evil!
