FEAR GOD

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

Hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God
And keep His commandments,
For this is the whole man.
For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including everything that has been overlooked,
Whether it be good or evil.

Personal Challenge

We were all created in the image of God. We have a bit of Him in every one of us. So, does it not make sense to fear Him, to hold Him in great awe and respect, to be willing to let Him manifest Himself within us as much as possible. This fear, or respect, should lead us to keep His commandments and expectations of us. We do this because we love Him and desire to please Him. We also do this because we know that our every thought, action, and inaction will someday be brought to light, not to punish us, but to show us and all around us how much we need Him, His love, His mercy, and His grace. Glory be to God!
