A pastor and friend of ours closed a recent sermon by asking the congregation to mediate on the following for the upcoming week:
We had just gone through Psalm 128 which begins in verse 1 by saying:
In the short, six-verse Psalm “bless” is used four times. 2/4 of those times blessing is connected to “fearing God.”
What does it mean to "Fear God"?
So what exactly does it mean to “fear God” or “fear the Lord?”
Scottish Theologian Sinclair Ferguson says the fear of God is “the indefinable mixture of reverence, fear, pleasure, joy, and awe which fills our hearts when we realize who God is and what he has done for us.”
The Pastor went on to say, “The fear of God takes your breath away. It is what you’re both attracted to and a little bit nervous around. It’s when you have to get closer but it’s not casual. We’re not going to approach the throne of God casually (just read the throne room scenes in Revelation 4 & 5!), we don’t approach casually.”
If I am being completely honest, I approach God far too casually at times.
It’s just easier to move more quickly through prayers instead of pausing to meditate on who God is and the infinite grace given to us - to even be able to talk with Him.
But why settle for what’s “easier” when the greatest joy of life is to know God more and more each and every day?
The fear of God leads to a greater dependence upon Him and a more obedient heart.
When we truly fear God it is shown not just in our hearts but in our actions as well. In fact, you can’t have one without the other.
This is why the closing question was: “Do you fear God? If so, what does that look like?”
Jesus himself said, “If you love me you will obey my commands.”
I encourage you to join me in taking time this week to consider the question above and I pray God would reveal himself to each one of us in doing so.

I want to share my experience of recovering my Bitcoin after falling victim to a scam mining bitcoin company. Like many others, I got involved with a company that seemed trustworthy at first, but eventually, I realized I had been scammed. The feeling of helplessness and frustration was overwhelming. I had invested a significant amount of $211,500USD and losing it felt like a blow to both my financial security and my trust in the crypto space. At first, I didn’t know where to turn. The feeling of being cheated left me in a state of disbelief. I tried reaching out to the company, but they stopped responding. I felt completely stuck, unsure if I would ever see my Bitcoin again. After some research, I found a recovery service (swift1@cyberservices.com or whatsapp: +1-845-224-5771) that specialized in helping people like me. I was cautious at first, not knowing if they were legitimate or just another scam. But after speaking with their team, I felt a glimmer of hope. They took the time to explain the recovery process, and they reassured me that they had experience in handling cases like mine. I wholeheartedly recommend their services. Don’t give up hope there are solutions out there, and you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Contact swift1@cyberservices.com or WhatsApp: +1-845-224-5771

I’m recommending Dr Agbon to everyone who has herpes simplex virus to get the cure from him. I was diagnosed with genital herpes in 2022 and I have been searching and asking questions to see if i could get something to cure the disease because i did not believe what the doctors say that no cure is found yet. I contacted Dr Agbon and explained my problem to him and he prepared the herbs and sent it to me . and gave me instructions on how to use it and told me to go for checkup after usage which I did after two weeks of taking the herbal medicine and my result was NEGATIVE. I waited another month and retested, the result was still NEGATIVE and my doctor told me that I am completely free from herpes, Contact him now WHATSAPP: +2349058797761.

Thanks to Rewallet Shield Coin Recovery. As an entrepreneur, I’m always seeking new opportunities. Years ago, Bitcoin caught my attention, so I invested in mining equipment and accumulated Bitcoin, securely storing it with a decryption key. As my business grew, I moved on to other ventures and forgot about my Bitcoin. Recently, I checked its value and was shocked to find it worth $473,000! Excited, I tried accessing my wallet but couldn’t find the decryption key. After changing computers multiple times, it was lost. Desperate, I searched online and found Rewallet Shield Recovery, a tool designed to recover lost keys. Following its simple instructions, I let it scan my computer and external drives. After hours of processing, it provided a list of possible keys. I tested them one by one until success! I regained access to my wallet and recovered my $473,000.This experience taught me the importance of safeguarding critical information. Thanks to Rewallet Shield Recovery, I’ve recovered my assets and can reinvest in my business with confidence. Contact Email rewalletshieldcoinrecovery@aol.com WhatsApp +17573321885
