FEARING GOD
Deuteronomy 5:29
Would they had such a heart in them so as to fear Me and guard My commandments all the time, that it might be well with them and their sons forever.
Personal Challenge
Fear can be such an emotional and temporary thing. When God desires that we fear Him, it is not that He wants us to be afraid of Him. He is not some mean and vindictive overlord that angrily punishes us for our mistakes. The fear that is being called for is respect, a desire to please our benefactor, awe in that one who is so much greater than us and even cares about us, let along loves us. This is how God wants us to fear Him. And what will God do when we get to that place? He will make it well with us and the generations that come behind us. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
