Psalm 99

BibleGateway.com Psalm 99

Fear the reign of the Lord. We should fear God. I always have a hard time understanding fear of the Lord. I am not scared the Lord will take his Son from me. I believe his promises to me are real. So what does it mean for a Christian to fear the Lord? Is it respectful awe? Is it related to humility? I am in awe of God's great power. I need daily to be humble before his throne. I do not treat the Lord like some secondary citizen or even as equal to another person. The Lord our God is One, the creator of all the earth and the heavens. To fear him is to know his holiness? Maybe? The Lord is set apart from us all. He is so many things we cannot understand. Our limited ability is unable to ever comprehend his ways. How can you fit the creator within the created. He is greater than I could ever be. How can I see the beginning from the end if I do not have eternity as my backdrop?

The Lord is feared here, because he is awesome, holy and glorious.
