Life in the Fear of the Lord
How would you react to a renowned world leader for who you have great respect coming to visit you? Might you have a degree of fear, even fright? Might you also have a sense of awe? Would you prepare and act differently for him?
All of these responses are a result of how you view and regard this individual, who he is and what he represents.
The God of the universe has come. What is your response?
In the fear of the Lord, you can expect our land to be filled with His glory. You can expect to live blessed and You can expect to live blessed and you can expect our walk of holiness to be perfected.
You will see that God’s desire is that all the nations will see His goodness displayed in us such that all the earth may fear Him. This reverential fear, awe and trembling flow from His Being as you see Him in the beauty of His holiness.
Scripture tells us that Jesus DELIGHTED in the fear of the Lord. This means He enjoyed and took pleasure in it.
Do we?
Jesus recognized that His love for His Father and the reverential fear He had for Him, empowered Him to be obedient to all His direction. He remained in awe of His Father.
Is there a relationship between our Fear of the Lord, our reverence and awe for Him, and the fear of man? What man might think of me and what man might do to me?
Scripture tells us we cannot serve two masters.
Does this mean that as our fear of the Lord increases, our fear of man is defeated?
Let’s allow God’s Word to answer this question.
Scripture tells us we are to fear God and goes on to say it is for our good. Equally important is His command to have NO IDOLS.
Many would react positively to this command yet at the same time be ascribing more worth to something in this physical world than they do to the Lord.
Learn how our enemy elevates the things of this world in an attempt to separate us from our fear of the Lord.
The God of the universe has come to you with promises. The Lord told His Hebrew people that if they would walk in, live their life in the fear of the Lord, that it would be for their good. Over and over Scripture teaches, “In the fear of the Lord there is…” and it is always for our good!
