Dear Child,
If you truly fear Me it will set you free! not punish you, because that fear will give you the courage to let go, the motivation to walk away from that which holds you in bondage. It is sin that is the slave master, not the fear of my presence and facing me as you come to fellowship with me.
As you reverently fear me, child, you will walk uprightly and have no reason to lack boldness and confidence to come into my presence.
Thus saith Papa
Surely the fear of God is the motivation to cause us to change our ways, not only for our own good but for the good of our children!
Jer 32:39-40 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
2 Corinthians 7:1 Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Where we find a lack of the fear of God we also find a lack of holiness.
CHALLENGE: Have we lost a reverent fear and respect for God’s holiness in our lives and churches? Has society lost respect and fear of all earthly authority because the church has lost respect and fear for God’s authority? If the church is God’s light in the world surely we lead the way for the world!
