Health Discovered Podcast, where we bring you fascinating stories and unique perspectives, like our recent episode on how heart failure can particularly affect women and Black and Hispanic communities.

00:47

We've documented it time and time again. She was young. She was Black. She was a woman.

00:53

No one expected her to look like the face of heart failure. When you don't look like what someone expects, that's going to lead to delays in diagnosis.

01:03

This is a ministry of striving for eternity. What does it mean to fear

01:49

God? Now, many people know that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

01:54

We see that in Proverbs 1 -7. And there we see the fear of the

01:59

Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

02:06

So we would often say that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the

02:11

Lord. But what does the fear of the Lord actually mean? Does it mean we are so afraid of God that we tremble in our boots?

02:19

Well, actually, no. No, the idea of fear is to captivate attention.

02:25

That's really what we're doing when we're saying the fear of the Lord. That the Lord our God captivates our full and undivided attention.

02:34

Now, this is a way I like to illustrate this. It's helpful for me, maybe it will be for you.

02:39

If you were discussing earlier that day with your spouse what color to paint a room, or maybe discussing even your 401k, all of a sudden you're on the street and someone pulls out a gun and asks for your money or your life.

02:53

Are you worried about which color you wanted to paint that room anymore? Or even the thoughts of how to invest your 401k?

03:01

No, because the man with the gun has captivated your full attention.

03:06

You're thinking of nothing else. Oh, there's other things you think of. I've got to be careful, I don't want to lose my life because of my family, things like that.

03:14

But the important part of this is that your full and undivided attention is on that person.

03:20

And so it should be with God. This podcast is part of the Striving for Eternity ministry. For more content or to request a speaker or seminar to your church, go to strivingforeternity .org.
