In my last post, I noted that the Bible says we are to fear God — and I confessed confusion over precisely what that means.
The next step in my progression of thought is to recall that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and of understanding.
I think that means it’s okay I don’t fully know what it means to fear God, but as I contemplate it, I will begin to understand.
I will begin to realize that God is almighty and all powerful, that he is our awesome creator, our loving savior, and our ever-present guide. For that I can revere him, worship him, respect him, and perhaps have a bit of reverent fear.
But there’s more…so come back next week to find out.
A lifelong student of the Bible, Peter DeHaan, PhD, wrote the 1,000-page website ABibleADay.com to encourage people to explore the Bible. His main blog and many books urge Christians to push past the status quo and reconsider how they practice their faith in every area of their lives.
