My prayer for you for today is that you will know to fear
God and that you will be filled even more with the desire and power to do what
pleases Him, in Jesus name.
Philippians
2:12-13
Dear
friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that
I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your
salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in
you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.
Fear. It is one thing to fear what we know of and what we
can see, but it is so important that you must know to fear God. We must remember
that our lives will determine the final judgement that God will put on us.
Therefore it is so important that you live a life obeying God and fearing Him,
but not only for His judgement but for whom He is. Paul writes that God is
working in you giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. To me
fear for God begins with knowing God and spending time in His Word to know more
of Him and who He is.
The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 8:
When
I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the
stars you set in place— what are mere mortals that you should think about
them, human beings that you should care for them?
God is much bigger than it is possible for us to imagine,
it is so important that you bring who God is in context with who you are and
where you stand in relationship with Him. Don’t make the mistake to not know
how great God is, great in love but most of all, great in magnitude. Make sure
you right size Him and that your first priority will be to obey Him with deep devotion
and fear.
My dear friend, God is beyond our mind set and far above
our imagination. How fortunate are we that God loves us with an immense and
intense love that we will never be able to fully understand.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
