The Fear of The Lord

How serious do we take God?

Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight."

Not that this is not fear as in the sweating palms and quick heart beat we get when we realise somone might be in the house!   We know that this God we serve is our Father and that He cals us children.  Now this is a very important aspect and it is needed to know who we are and to have a good relationship with God, but it is no reason to forget who we are dealing with.

Job 39:19 “Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane?"

These were only but two of many question God posed to Job in his time of questioning.  It is as if we get cocky in dealing with God.  We tend to take Him as our imaginary friend.  We serve a God that silences the stormy seas, that calmed the hungry lions in the lion's den.  He is the one that holds time in His hands and that hung the stars in their place.  The One that crafted the very fabric of everything we see around us.  He wired the human body with a nervous system as fine as it is yet with the utmost precision.  This is the creator of the universe, the maker of everything we see.

Imagine the results when we start realizing who we are kneeling to.  Imagine the testimonies we will be able to give once we truly fear God!
