"The Fear-of-God expands your life; a wicked life is a puny life." ~Proverbs 10:27, MSG
I don't generally prefer the MSG version of the Bible. It always seems to me that the version tries to hard to make things simple - so much that it actually makes things complicated. For example, what exactly is the "Fear of God"? Respect, honor, praise, worship, okay, I guess it's every bit as confusing as "fear" in the Biblical reverent sense. Giving God what He deserves (glory) expands your life, and not just in years of living as some other versions would suggest - but also mentally and emotionally. Trusting God gives you confidence to move forwards, keeps yourself secure despite conflict.
A life without God is a puny life, difficult to make into something big, a challenge, short and tough. Not always, but often enough. We don't have to live a "wicked" life though - we can always choose another path. This path, in this case, is God. Let your life expand!
