Fear the Lord! The bottom line as I see it in developing a healthy fear of the Lord is to learn the balance between Wow and Woa. God is awesome - Wow. He delivers, He rescues, He performs miracles, in short He is so amazing, gracious and awesome that we need too say Wow!. The flip side is that God does not take sin lightly He is directive, gives "marching orders" and will certainly withhold blessing, or allow trial so that we may be refined into His likeness - Woa. I need to stop before such an awesome God and listen to what He is speaking into my life. Woa, I need to put brakes on selfish pursuits and thought and redirect. Woa, I need to stop and say Wow - God you care enough to intervene - thank you! This is in my understanding what it is to fear the Lord.
