The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. [MUSIC PLAYING] The angel said to the women, do not be afraid for I know that you're looking for Jesus who was crucified. Matthew, the 28th chapter, the fifth verse. [MUSIC PLAYING] The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives-- love, joy, peace, patience. Kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians chapter 5, verse 22. Galatians 6, son, let us not become weary and doing good. For at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. The gospel of Luke, chapter 12, verse 32 says, do not be afraid, little flop, for it is your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. For tomorrow, we'll worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6, 34. Philippians chapter 3, verses 12 through 14. I press on to take hold of that for which Christ took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do-- forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead-- I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
