[devotional] fear God

Blessed is the one who fears the LORD always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.  Proverbs 28:14

[Haneul Sarang Church] 세상을 이기는 왕이 되라 (translation: Be a World-Overcoming King) by Pastor Jeong Soo Kim

Below is my takeaways from today's sermon and my personal reflections. 
1. keep Sunday holy- make Sunday separate from the rest of the week; do things to love God and others
2. make myself a place of worship where Holy Spirit dwells (a.k.a. Naioth at Ramah) 
3. put love as my highest priority in life because love is the one that I will be evaluated at the end (source: 1 Cor. 13:8)
4. choose God's way though His way seems difficult (c.f. the other way will create 1. generating risks on community let alone myself 2. making me worry by forcing me to pay attentions to watch others' opinion 3. losing joy, peace, love, and others' loyalty 4. transitioning my status from king to slave 5. changing my effectiveness to be useless 6. compromising with the world) 
5. face tribulations through keeping the law of God and evangelizing people
6. start seeking and asking to God
