Psalm 2:11
Serve the Lord with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling.
What do we define as fear? Well that answer would have to be
something or someone we are frightened off. Fear can also mean
that it is something we don't know about. Ignorance of something
can bring on fear as we don't it.
To fear God is entirely different. The meaning of fear here is to
respect God, and to want to obey Him. It is a desire to those of us
who has accepted God in their lives. It is not a fear that scares us,
but there is a fear that we will hurt Him, and we do not want thear at. Yes, to fear God is to respect Him, to follow Him, and to rejoice in Him, and to want to obey Him, with all our being.
Hebrews 3:16-19
.....that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts though faith; that you being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you al may be filled with all the fulness of God.(NKJV)
Wide, wide as the ocean, high as the heavens above. Deep, deep as the deepest sea is my Saviours love. I think a lot of us will remember the first few lines of that childrens Christian song. Isn't it so wonderful that our King of Kings, our Lord of all Lords, our heavenly Father loves us so much. Every day should be praise in our hearts and on our lips, thanking Him for His wonderful love for us.
Isaiah 41:10
Don't be afraid, f or I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for
I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold
you up with my victorious right hand.
Are you struggling at the moment, with problems and worries that
you feel will never end? Turn to God in prayer, he will help you.
He knows the struggles we face, and that we need strength to endure them. Talk to him ask him for confidence to trust him and help you
to walk by faith.
