Message in Brief

In this daily message, Pastor Ratna Maitra shares from Proverbs 19:23, emphasizing that the fear of the Lord leads to a full and satisfying life free from evil visitations. Reflecting on biblical figures who walked closely with God, such as Abraham, Enoch, Moses, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, she explains that fearing God is not merely standing still with folded hands, but obeying His word and living disciplined, righteous lives. True wisdom, success, long life, and spiritual riches come when believers yield their personal plans to God's direction, walk in humility, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide their everyday choices.
