Our discussion on Sunday about the fear of the Lord reminided me of something Beth Moore wrote. She was describing a healthy fear of the Lord vs. an unhealthy fear. This explanation is the best I've read so I thought I'd share it with you!
"A healthy fear of God draws us toward Him. An unhealthy fear of God draws us away from Him. A healthy fear bows to His holiness and obeys His precepts but all the while is compelled like a magnet to the source of its fascination. It seeks Him like hidden treasure. It stretches and strains to peer into His perfections. It longs to approach the One who dwells in unapproachable light. To know the unknowable till faith turns to sight. To be ruined for every other contesting love.
Unhealthy fear runs from God and recoils at the thought of trusting Him. It associates Him more with pain than praise. It sees Him as an angry god to appease rather than a wise and holy Father we need to obey but whom we can also trust..."
I hope you all have a great week! Remember - the LORD delights in You!!!!
