I also want to point out that fear isn't always necessarily a bad thing. We all fear different things, it is what we do with that fear that determines what happens next. We can either accept our fear as is and give it to God, letting that fear strengthen us to do what we need to do. However, we can do what I said before, letting that fear lead us to sin, into disobedience of God.
The beautiful thing is that God will help us with our fear, we just have to ask Him. He leaves it up to us to turn our worries upon Him, which is something that takes courage in itself. So great.
God, you are so good. Thanks you.
Not to mention we see 27 times in the bible the idea of "fear of the Lord"... we're called to fear Him.
ReplyDeleteAFterall, the fear of our God is the beginning of all understanding, wisdom, we'll hate evil, live life well and full, satisfaction, riches, honor, lead others to the Lord and receive knowledge (everyone one of those are directly from the bible, mostly from Proverbs).
Mhm, it's true. I mentioned that in my the original fear note, just mentioning that the fear I was speaking of is not the righteous fear of God, but rather a fear outside of that, which really comes down to a fear that God is not good enough.
