Fear Not, Fear God (replacing self-fear with God-awe)
Manage episode 380194357 series 3406333
Revering God is about turning away from the fears created by man and seeking God’s sovereignty for our lives. We have the power through our free will to turn away from self-made fears. It is ours to do. Because God has not given us the spirit of fear.
2 Timothy 1:7
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
If fear of man, of this world and all its challenges is a recurring state of mind, one that has settled in, I remind you, me, us, that we have been given the command throughout His Word, the simple next step from God.
Two words. And then, two words.
Fear not. Fear God. Simply, to echo the words of his disciples in a fearful circumstance: “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” When our fearful human nature tries to overtake us, we revere the One who is sovereign and in control. All powerful, all-knowing, all-present.
Mark 4: 39-41
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
