Previous Daily Devotional About fearing God… 2 Kings 17:36
But the LORD, who brought you up out of Egypt with mighty power and outstretched
arm, is the one you must worship. (NIV) When we fear God in a healthy way, our fear is not the shaky leg kind of fear. Fearing God in a healthy way requires we be mature and realize God is the power of love. God is the power of love over us, under us, and all around us. The fear God wants from us is the kind of fear we would describe as "awe." This "awe" kind of fear is the kind of fear whereby we are dumbfounded by God’s power of love. In addition, the "awe" kind of fear humbles us into silence. When we are humbled into silence we realize God is in charge and we are His pipeline carrying His love out to the world. When we are totally awed by God's power of love we fear doing anything unrighteous. When we live in utmost love and respect for God, we do not want to go against His will or against His love.
