In the movie "City Slickers" Curly talked about the one thing. Here is one thing that could help our walk be simpler, if we would take heed.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
All who follow His precepts have good understanding,
To Him belongs eternal praise.---Ps.111:10The Bible truly flows as one book. The simple statement “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom” gives man a simple understanding of how to live for the LORD. If we respected and revered God the way we should; knowing that He is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent we would live obedient lives. ( For example, consider the things we do (defiant sin) as if an all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present God didn’t know about it or see it; and He won’t do anything about it.) Although we today are saved by grace through faith, true love is shown to our Savior through our obedience. So the Psalmist says “All who follow His precepts have good understanding.” Those that obey the truth God has hidden in their hearts are on the right track. Finally, “to Him belongs eternal praise.” There is this reminder that God will receive praise from His people forever. Fear (respect, revere, live in awe) of the LORD for that is a good rule of thumb for life! Talk to Him throughout the day, because He is ever-present. Practice for forever.
