A friend asked the question in June, In what area are you being drawn to become an expert in over the next six months of 2025? I knew almost immediately the area God was calling me to become an expert in. I was facing things that sought to cause me fear and anxiety. The very things the Father God had delivered me from was trying to reclaim a foothold in my life. I am further along in my walk with the Lord now, I know how to respond when fear and anxiety confront me. In that moment the Holy Spirit gently whispered, Become an expert in the fear of the Lord. I asked the question, what does that really mean Lord, what does that even look like in my life?
The Father at the end of my fear process gave me a month of Scriptures to finally deliver me from my fears and anxieties. Now Holy Spirit would lead me to months of Scriptures to learn that the fear of the Lord sets me free from fear.
Today that phrase shows up in the reading of WITH ALL MY HEART verses. The Lord asks me to fear Him and when I do, I walk in His ways, loving Him with all my heart and soul and I am free from fear.
