21 Jan 2015; Isa 8:11-22

But the LORD of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. (Isaiah 8:13 ESV)

Who is the Lord, but our God, the creator of the heaven and earth.

In this few days, I have not been feeling well, even though I have slept consistently, exercise ..

It gives me a bad feeling that when I had chest tightness but no numbness of limbs, I suspect a heart attack. My life is fragile and can go anytime.

I will then leave behind a lovely wife, 2 wonderful sons and a sweet daughter.

Even as I lay on my bed, I wonder what if I am not able to move - what then it is for all the works that I have done for the world, the wealth that I have accumulated...

What is all that matters except that we use all - all that we have and own to honour the Lord of hosts

Thename“LORD of hosts” occurs some 261 times in the Old Testament Scriptures. God is first called the “LORD of hosts” in1 Samuel 1:3. The wordLORD, capitalized, refers to Yahweh, the self-existent, redemptive God. The word hosts is a translation of the Hebrew word sabaoth, meaning “armies”—a reference to the angelic armies of heaven. Thus, another way of saying “LORD of hosts” is “Jehovah, God of the armies of heaven.” The NIV translatesYHWHsaboathas “LORD Almighty.”

Do you then not fear the Lord of hosts? Imagine on your death bed, there is no fear.. If you have the peace of God and the assurance of salvation - fine. But if you don't even bother about where your soul will go, its is a pity.

The fear of the Lord, brings and set us apart from doing against the law that the God has command us. It put things right, because we knew that there is a God that will pronounce judgement if the law are not obeyed.

Fear let you know that there is God. That in the last, all things must be accounted for.
