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.

HOW I WON THE LOTTERY WITH Drherry LOTTERY SPELL AND MY LIFE CHANGED: I’m a 38-year-old from Chicago and I just won $1 million in the lottery. Life was really hard before this and I was constantly struggling to pay my bills. While searching online for ways to turn things around, I came across stories of people saying that Drherry helped them win the lottery. I was curious and decided to give it a try. I reached out to him and he responded quickly. He told me what was needed to cast a lottery spell. After the spell was done, he gave me numbers to play. I used OLG’s Never Miss a Draw subscription and a few days later, I got a call saying I had won $1 million. I was completely shocked and overwhelmed with emotion. I never believed something like this could happen to me. I am truly grateful to Drherry for this incredible blessing. You can contact him via WhatsApp: Message Dr Herry on WhatsApp. https://wa.me/message/3C6ZDDGHSXBAE1. Drherry189@gmail.com

LOTTERY WINNING THAT CHANGE MY LIFE: I’m a 26 year-old man from Toronto and I just won a $60,000,000 lottery jackpot, Life was tough before and I could barely pay the bills. One day, while searching online for ways to improve my life, I came across people sharing how a spell caster named Lord Bubuza helped them win the lottery. I was curious and decided to contact him.

I bought a ticket online using OLG’s “Never Miss a Draw” subscription. A few days later, I got a call from OLG saying I had won $60 million!

I WON THE LOTTERY AT 53 YEARS OLD: I am a 53 years old farmer who struggled hard to keep food on the table, When Crops failed my debts grew and hope slowly died. One night, desperate and broken, I came across testimonies online about a spell caster named Lord Bubuza who reveals lottery winning numbers. I contacted him for help and I provided him with the requirement to cast the lottery spell, 3 hours after the lottery spell was casted, he gave me specific numbers to play. I rushed to the nearby lotto store and bought a ticket using those numbers, 2 days later I got a notification that I won $5,123,000. I stood in disbelief, shaking, crying, staring at the numbers on the screen. From barely surviving to becoming a millionaire, it felt unreal. Lord Bubuza didn’t just reveal numbers, he gave me a second chance at life. I’ve paid off my debts, bought new land, and my kids will never suffer like I did. Thank you, Lord Bubuza.
