“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)
Besides the love of God bringing people to salvation, the fear of the Lord does as well.
Paul said, “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (Philippians 2:12)
Unfortunately, the church has neutered the word fear when it comes to the Lord. While it does mean awe and reverence for God, that awe and reverence comes from the realization that we’re sinners standing before a holy and righteous God.
This should then bring a sense of real fear, because unless we get our lives right with God, then hell will be our outcome; hence the wording, “Working out our salvation with fear and trembling.”
In Romans 8:32, Paul asks, "If God is for us, who can be against us?” This is a powerful and remarkable verse. God is not just with us; He’s for us. And what makes this so remarkable is that there are so many reasons why He should be against us, and they all have to do with sin (Romans 5:8).
Oswald Chambers said, “The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.”
A grace-filled heart is one that fears God. As Solomon says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10).
I pray that a holy fear encompasses God’s people so that a revival will sweep across this world. Take care and God bless

God is present; what do we need to fear then?
David said, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)
David could walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death because God was with him.
God not only promises us His power in the valleys but also His presence. When we know God as our Good Shepherd, we’ll never walk alone through life’s valleys. He’ll be with us.
Through the prophet Isaiah, God said, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” (Isaiah 43:2)
No matter what troubles we encounter, God will be with us every step of the way. We have nothing to fear because God is close by.
When we go through the fires that threaten to burn us up or the waters that threaten to drown us, we see that religion transforms into a relationship. That’s because we hear the Lord say, “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6; cf. Hebrews 13:5)
Thank you, and may the goodness and mercy of God be yours for the rest of this day and throughout your life. Take care, and God bless.
“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.”
Isaiah 43:2 NLT https://t.co/6IsdfYvipz
