 Good morning everybody. Welcome to 8 a.m. Let's do it today as we enter in to the Lord's presence I'm gonna read from Proverbs chapter 2 Proverbs chapter 2 Solomon he says if you seek it like silver and search for it as hidden treasures Then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God for the Lord gives wisdom And from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding as we enter in today I want to enter in with a fear of the Lord Lord's has been speaking that to me today. So let's just if you can just put your hand over your heart Say wherever you're at. Let's just ask the Lord for a fresh revelation of the fear of the Lord Father as we worship you today as we come into your presence Lord with Thanksgiving and praise and and Thankfulness Lord as we bring our offering to you God We ask that you would grant us a spirit of the fear of the Lord that we would love you rightly that we would honor you rightly So right now Holy Spirit give us wisdom in our inner man Give us wisdom in our inner man As we approach you today As we approach you today God, I ask that you give us this fresh revelation of who you are Lord Don't let it be don't let it be routine.
