The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! PSALM 111:10 NAS

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. MATTHEW 10:28 NAS

Reflections:

What causes you to fear God in the wrong way? In other words, to think that God is out to get you or that he will bring upon punishment for your behavior?

  1. What causes you to tremble before the Lord? What puts you in a place of awe, wonder, or worshipful humility?

  2. What is something you can do today that puts you on the right path to worship God in word, deed, or song?

  3. What are three “gifts from God” that could or have become idols for you?
