💡 Title: “A Woman Who Fears the Lord”
📜 Scripture Focus

“The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh contain this message. I am weary, O God; I am weary and worn out, O God. I am too stupid to be human, and I lack common sense. I have not mastered human wisdom, nor do I know the Holy One.
Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭30‬:‭1‬–‭3‬, ‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭30‬–‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Let the whole world fear the Lord, and let everyone stand in awe of him.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭33‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

📝 Scripture Observation
Agur’s words are raw and humble—he recognizes his smallness before a mighty and holy God. He doesn’t pretend to have it all together; instead, he confesses that true wisdom comes only from the Holy One. Proverbs 31 then reminds us that it’s not charm or beauty that lasts, but the fear of the Lord. Psalm 33 ties this together beautifully: the fear of the Lord leads the whole world to awe and worship. These verses form a picture of what it means to walk wisely—with reverence, humility, and deep dependence on God.
💭 Devotional
Agur New, who he was before God, a mighty awesome God there’s no comparison when we have a right perception of who we are and who God is we gain a healthy fear of God we’re close to ending the book of proverbs and again we’re reminded that the fear of the Lord brings wisdom
I’ve often asked how can a Pastor from a mega Church or a leader in a huge worship ministry fall so hard that they no longer serve in ministry or serve the Lord and this is it they lost the fear of God
When we lose the fear of God, we lose our way of who we are in Christ Jesus, we lose sight of who he is. And then we can no longer walk in the power and the might that he gives we lost wisdom. And we stopped, relying on his word….
📌 Application
Charm is deceitful and beauty is fine, but a woman who fears the Lord we need to continue every day to be an all of him start our morning with recounting his greatness all that he’s done his creation he made us he holds this universe together by the power of his word…
