psalm 25:14

"Friendship with the Lord is reserved for those who fear Him."

Psalm 25:14

Fear of the Lord is a touchy subject.

Fear is a hard word to say for me when I think about the Lord.

I love to say Friend, Teacher, Comfort... etc.

But as it says in the Psalms in order to have friendship with Him

I must fear him.

Now, being afraid of something/someone is different than a Holy Fear.

I am not afraid of God.

I do Fear him.

He is too big to be put in a box and labeled, this is God.

He measures the universe in the span of His hand.

We don't even know how big the universe is!

That's big.

He needs to be given His due respect.

So, when my heart is postured in a place of

honour and reverence for Him I am fearing Him.

To obey Him before I even understand what is going on,

I am fearing Him.

To trust that He has the best plans for me and rest in that promise,

I am fearing Him.

John Bevere says in his book "The Fear of The Lord",

"We cannot expect to be admitted into His presence

with an attitude of disrespect."

We must look inward and find out how our hearts are postured.

In a place of honour and respect for Him and who He has put in authority

or in a place of disrespect and rebellion.

Why would He want to come into a place, a home, church

or even inside of us,

if He is not treated as Holy but as common?

If I have to sing HOLY HOLY HOLY is the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

for all of my days I will do it because He is soooo worth it.

He is soooo HOLY.

He is soooo wonderful.

He is too much for my mind to even fathom.

I don't ever want to treat the King of Kings

and Lord of Lords as common and regular.

I have given Him my life and

He will do with it as He sees fit.
