Proverbs 28
I have often read and reflected on how I am to fear the Lord. We are clearly to both love and fear the Lord. This is also clearly stated in the Ten Commandments:
Blessed is the one who always trembles before God.v14
I have often read and reflected on how I am to fear the Lord. We are clearly to both love and fear the Lord. This is also clearly stated in the Ten Commandments:
And God spoke all these words:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3 “You shall have no other gods before me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. Exodus 20:1-4
It is this love and healthy fear of the Lord that draws me near to Him.
My Prayer: Lord, You are awesome! Your love and might are incredible. I have even seen it when I have experienced trials how You love me. I am not worthy of such love yet You love me anyway. I neglect You and I often don't trust You and this is deeply sinful. Thank You that You love me anyway but please forgive me and help me see You as trustworthy all the time. Help me be the man You intend for me.
