How to have Godly Reverence--Dr. Brenda Joyce Sanders

Описание: Daniel 3--Day 1--Applying the Principles of Daniel to Your Life-Daily Devotional--"Godly Reverence"

It is important to understand that being afraid at times is human and even wise. It is equally important to realize that faith can tear down the walls of fear. Godly fear, which is part of faith, is healthy. This type of fear is having respect for God as God, recognizing His dominion and authority. There are some things we should be afraid of. There are also some things we should not be afraid of. The Bible says that we should not fear what man can do to us. Man can only kill our bodies, but not our souls. It is only God who can kill the body and the soul. This alone should be enough for us to have a healthy respect for God and live in reverence to Him. If this isn't enough then maybe the fact that Jesus Christ loved us so much that He died in our place. As if dying wasn't enough of a sacrifice, on the 3rd day, He rose from the dead. He still wasn't finished after the resurrection. He ascended into heaven so we could have the Holy Spirit because He did not want to leave us comfortless. He wanted us to have something on the inside of us that would help us when we are struggling and feeling alone. Jesus wanted us to always have a way to connect to Him if we want to.
