GOD MUST BE FEARED
Bible in A Year: Leviticus 17, Leviticus 18; Mark 14:17-42; Psalm 31:9-18
“Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.”
Psalm 31:16 WEB
One evening, a few friends and I gathered and planned to use drugs, people called ‘horse.’ We asked one another who would go and buy drugs. One of our friends said he would go. We believed him because he usually bought drugs for us. Then, we waited and waited, but he did not return. Only when it almost got dark did we hear that the police got hold of him and snatched him. We realized we lost our money, but we dared not make a sound. We hushed in utter silence.
God shined His face upon me and saved me with His unfailing love. God opened my eyes to see that fear and reverence were principles I took lightly and I needed to make changes in my life. Using drugs is against the law; the government institutes laws to protect citizens from death or devastation. Likewise, God does not want us to perish. He wants us to obey and follow His will. God is omnipotent; He is the creator of all things and everything remains under His control. All human beings should fear and revere Him. If we fear the government and the law, it’s all the more reason to fear, revere, and obey God, who is the most high and mighty. Therefore, let us fear God and walk in the truth! Psalm 33:8-9 reads, “Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.”
Reflection
What comes to mind for you when you hear “Fear God?” If people look at your life, how would they know you fear God? Those who fear the Lord will be blessed; those who dishonor God will be dishonored.
Prayer
God, please give me a heart to fear you and love You in truth.
In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
