God does not want His children living in
fear. “Grace and peace be multiplied to you
in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to
us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him
who called us by glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:2-3). However, God does want His children to have a
proper respect and reverence for Him. We
are told in many places in Scripture to “fear God.”
This Week’s Passage ~ “Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. Therefore all hands will be limp, every man’s
heart will melt, and they will be afraid. Pangs and sorrows will take hold of them; they
will be in pain as a woman in childbirth; they will be amazed at one another;
their faces will be like flames” (Isaiah 13:6-8).
Comment ~ This
passage is about the future Day of the Lord and the Great Tribulation which is
to come. Every person will fear God in
that day.
Fearing God Results in
Salvation ~ “It is
a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews
10:31). “A wise person fears and departs from evil,
but a fool rages and is self-confident” (Proverbs 14:16). This does not mean the Christian is to live a
fearful life—but a life which reverences God and seeks to do His will.
Fearing God Results in Fearlessness ~ “The Lord
is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord
is the strength of my life; of whom shall
I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1). The answer is: only God. With the gift of salvation comes responsibility.
Fearing God Results in Witnessing ~ “Come and hear, all you who
fear God, and I will declare what He
has done for my soul” (Psalm 66:16).
